- The Linux kernel published 432 CVEs in a short period (July 19-20, 2026), adding to over 40 other CVEs that month.
- The author questions the usefulness of CVEs for tracking and prioritizing kernel security changes, calling them a flawed system.
- Using an LLM to prioritize the flood of CVEs is suggested but deemed ineffective due to the high volume of new issues.
- Another approach is to wait for high-profile CVEs that receive logos and catchy names, then focus on those.
- An ideal but impractical solution is to update all systems weekly, but reality prevents this for many organizations.
- The author expresses uncertainty about how to handle the overwhelming number of CVEs going forward.
