@kzantow kzantow commented May 4, 2023

Some initial feedback about the linux kernel cataloger is that it can introduce quite a lot of findings, many or all of which do not have version information. This results in a lot of work for users to ascertain why there are many false positive vulnerability findings.

For now, it was decided to disable this cataloger by default (it can still be enabled with the --catalogers option and analogous yaml/env var configurations).

Fixes #1781
