What is the use of CVE check?

CVE-check will scan for vulnerabilities on the images and on the codes. This is added in the file in ‘project-spec/meta-user/conf/petalinuxbsp.conf’ and see all the packages are scanned under task 'do_cve_check’ but also see the below warning.

WARNING: cve-check-tool-native-5.6.4-r0 do_populate_cve_db: Error in executing cve-check-update

build/build.log.old:WARNING: cve-check-tool-native-5.6.4-r0 do_populate_cve_db: Failed to update cve-check-tool database, CVEs won’t be checked

Since in 2018.3 the above warning was observed, we have also tried this in different petalinux versions and facing some other errors.
