Chapter 1. Clair for Red Hat Quay

Clair v4 (Clair) is an open source application that leverages static code analyses for parsing image content and reporting vulnerabilities affecting the content. Clair is packaged with Red Hat Quay and can be used in both standalone and Operator deployments. It can be run in highly scalable configurations, where components can be scaled separately as appropriate for enterprise environments.

1.1. Clair vulnerability databases

Clair uses the following vulnerability databases to report for issues in your images:

  • Ubuntu Oval database
  • Debian Oval database
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Oval database
  • SUSE Oval database
  • Oracle Oval database
  • Alpine SecDB database
  • VMWare Photon OS database
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) UpdateInfo
  • Pyup.io (Python) database

For information about how Clair does security mapping with the different databases, see ClairCore Severity Mapping.
