Grant fails to scan a RHEL9 container containing the 'kernel-headers' package

[tapanagupta]

What happened: Grant scan either runs out of memory or doesn't proceed to completion when scanning a RHEL9 based container image containing the kernel-headers package.

What you expected to happen: Scan should complete within a few seconds.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

• Install kernel-headers on a RHEL9 based container image (kernel-headers-5.14.0-427.33.1.el9_4.x86_64.rpm)
• Run a Syft scan on the image
• Run a Grant scan using the SBOM from Syft as an input:
  grant check -o json syft.spdx-json.json | jq > grant.json

Anything else we need to know?:
The license-specific portion in the entry for kernel-headers in the Syft SBOM is as follows:
"licenseDeclared": "((GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) AND ((GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) AND ((GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR CDDL-1.0) AND ((GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR Linux-OpenIB) AND ((GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) AND ((GPL-2.0-or-later WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) AND ((GPL-2.0-or-later WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) AND Apache-2.0 AND BSD-2-Clause AND BSD-3-Clause AND BSD-3-Clause-Clear AND GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later AND GPL-1.0-or-later AND (GPL-1.0-or-later OR BSD-3-Clause) AND (GPL-1.0-or-later WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND GPL-2.0-only AND (GPL-2.0-only OR Apache-2.0) AND (GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause) AND (GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-3-Clause) AND (GPL-2.0-only OR CDDL-1.0) AND (GPL-2.0-only OR GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later) AND (GPL-2.0-only OR GFDL-1.2-no-invariants-only) AND (GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND GPL-2.0-or-later AND (GPL-2.0-or-later OR BSD-2-Clause) AND (GPL-2.0-or-later OR BSD-3-Clause) AND (GPL-2.0-or-later OR CC-BY-4.0) AND (GPL-2.0-or-later WITH GCC-exception-2.0) AND (GPL-2.0-or-later WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND ISC AND LGPL-2.0-or-later AND (LGPL-2.0-or-later OR BSD-2-Clause) AND (LGPL-2.0-or-later WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND LGPL-2.1-only AND (LGPL-2.1-only OR BSD-2-Clause) AND (LGPL-2.1-only WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND LGPL-2.1-or-later AND (LGPL-2.1-or-later WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND (Linux-OpenIB OR GPL-2.0-only) AND (Linux-OpenIB OR GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause) AND Linux-man-pages-copyleft AND MIT AND (MIT OR GPL-2.0-only) AND (MIT OR GPL-2.0-or-later) AND (MIT OR LGPL-2.1-only) AND (MPL-1.1 OR GPL-2.0-only) AND (X11 OR GPL-2.0-only) AND (X11 OR GPL-2.0-or-later) AND Zlib"

Replaced this section in the SBOM with all the individual licenses 'AND'ed together(removed all the 'WITH's, 'OR's and brackets) and re-ran the scan - this time the scan completed within a few seconds.

Environment:

• Output of grant version: 0.2.1
• OS (e.g: cat /etc/os-release or similar): RHEL 9.4
