The number of reported security vulnerabilities has gone up drastically. And so has the frequency, number, and volume of security patches. Which also makes the gap between fully supported distributions and ones with only partial security support larger. (Not every distribution provides full security upddates for the full announced life time of a release.)

How are you folks reacting to this?

    I think its a good sign, because it means the Kernel gets more secure. And it also means there is not just slop produced with Ai, if people know what they are doing off course. Any of these CVEs not found could have been abused by anyone else.

    Edit: I was thinking and speaking of the Linux Kernel itself, but this applies to any other important code or service too.

    I think of the number of FOUND security vulnerabilities has gone up drastically.
