Description
What would you like to be added:
Grype should consider Alma Linux fix information specifically when scanning Alma Linux images. (Today Grype treats Alma images identically to RHEL images).
Why is this needed:
Even though these distros are very similar by design, the actual fix versions of some packages, especially modules, are different between Alma and RHEL, resulting in some FPs when matching Alma.
This is particularly problematic when modules are involved, because the version strings for modules are different between the distros. Consider for example
- ALSA-2025:8506 has
npm-10.9.2-1.22.16.0.1.module_el8.10.0+4006+3c416519.aarch64.rpm, with+4006in the version number. - RHSA-2025:8506 has
npm-10.9.2-1.22.16.0.1.module+el8.10.0+23140+4056b950.aarch64.rpmwith+23140in the version number.
This causes the fixed version of the Alma Linux package to appear vulnerable, resulting in false positives. Grype should fix this by using Alma Linux specific fix information when scanning Alma Linux images.
