What did you implement:
Dirty Cow was miss-detected on RedHat based linux because RedHat7's OVAL has below entry(DIRTY COW).
If the running kernel is 3 series, the version comparison would be wrong.
This CVE was also fixed in kernel 3 series.
https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:2098
So, if the major version of running kernel is different from oval's version, vuls ignore the oval entry.
How did you implement it:
see diff
How can we verify it:
Confirm that the DIRTY COW is not detected.
