any commit identified as fixing a potential security issue gets a CVE assigned, even if it’s a minor one or has no known exploit path.
Seems much less severe than it sounds.
Whenever I see articles about vulnerabilities in the Linux Kernel I dream of a day that I can jailbreak all those devices that were abandoned by the manufacturer.
Good.
Oh no, my kernel is more secure thanks to AI. How will I ever trust Debian again. Guess I gotta move to a new distro. One that doesnt use the Linux kernel.
Did they use LLMs? It’s not mentioned in the article.
Going to go out on a limb and say that is the pattern with every single OS at the moment. Itll taper off eventually, but there is a lot of technical debt and human slop to clean up for a bit, then things should settle down.
can’t tell if serious or not
I love insecure kernels. I actually want the bad guys to win the race against security. Only bad guys should using AI. Debian shouldnt be allowed to use AI to keep up with them.
