So far this year the Linux Kernel has done 3000 CVEs even. This means we can expect roughly 4500 for this year in total. Bu I have good news: they only started in Feb so we can expect another 10-15% on top of that for 2025, so with any luck that'll be about 5000. In other words 12.5% or so of TOTAL CVE activity.
So when @gregkh says run current, you need to listen.
You can spend several thousand hours a year trying to triage Linux Kernel vulns, or you can invest that effort into automation (updates, builds, testing, etc.) and stay current and answer "did you fix CVE foo" with either a "yes" or a "that will go out in the next update at future time X".
Secondly?.
My avatar is what it is FOR A REASON.
It reflects my core view that the Left should be a bit more open minded and less puritanical on issues of adult sexual expression, sexual media, sex work, consensual adult porn, and factual, safety, and mutual consent-based sexual activity.
So hilarious that a queer instance would attempt to flag and "report" me for that.
Don't like it? Unfollow. It's staying, and so am I.
