Description Georg Weiss 2019-08-14 12:56:47 UTC
when using -c|--cve to include cve ids in the output AND also using -l|--list to get a compressed view the cve ids are always truncated.
The code wrongly assumes that cve ids are always 13 character size which isn't true (anymore?).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
glsa-check --quiet --nocolor --cve --list affected


Actual Results:

I don't see any references that contain a colon, so maybe we should simply use the full reference string here, or possibly use r.split()[0] instead.
Comment 2 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2019-08-19 05:49:52 UTC
glsa-check is included with >=sys-apps/portage-2.3.72 (bug 463952).
Comment 3 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2019-08-31 21:56:29 UTC
If we use a regular expression like this then we really don't need a separator:

> >>> import re
> >>> re.search(r'(CAN|CVE)-[\d-]+', '  CVE-2018-10534  ')
> <_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(2, 16), match='CVE-2018-10534'>

    glsa-check: fix truncated CVE ids in listmode (bug 692134)
    
    Use a regular expression to search for CVE ids in GLSA references.
    Import unicode_literals from __future__ since portage's Glsa class
    returns unicode strings for all python versions.
