| [Dependency graph][dependency-graph] |     ✓     |
|        End of life awareness         |     ✓     |

## SBOM
Trivy detects packages that have been installed through package managers such as `dnf` and `yum`.

## Vulnerability
Amazon Linux offers its own security advisories, and these are utilized when scanning Amazon Linux for vulnerabilities.

### Data Source
See [here](../../scanner/vulnerability.md#data-sources).

### Fixed Version
When looking at fixed versions, it's crucial to consider the patches supplied by Amazon.
For example, for CVE-2023-0464, the fixed version for Amazon Linux 2023 is listed as `3.0.8-1.amzn2023.0.2` in [ALAS2023-2023-181].
Note that this is different from the upstream fixed version, which is `3.0.9`, `3.1.1`, and so on.
Typically, only the upstream information gets listed on [NVD], so it's important not to get confused.

### Severity
Trivy determines vulnerability severity based on the severity metric provided by Amazon.
For example, the security patch for [CVE-2023-0464] in Amazon Linux 2023 is provided as [ALAS2023-2023-181].
Its severity is rated as "Medium".
Thus, even though it's evaluated as "HIGH" in the NVD, Trivy displays it with a severity of "MEDIUM".

The table below is the mapping of Amazon's severity to Trivy's severity levels.

|  Amazon   |  Trivy   |
| :-------: | :------: |
|    Low    |   Low    |
|  Medium   |  Medium  |
| Important |   High   |
| Critical  | Critical |
