Who is looking at CVEs to prevent them?

Sorry, I have kind of hijacked the cip-dev email list... I use these
lists to figure out where we are failing.

I created a static checker warning for this bug. I also wrote a blog
stepping through the process:
https://staticthinking.wordpress.com/2023/03/07/triaging-security-bugs/

If anyone wants to review the warnings, just email me and I can send
them to you. I Cc'd LWN because I was going to post the warnings but I
chickened out because that didn't feel like responsible disclosure. The
Given the syzbot reports only in the past three years for instance, the
chickenout sounds a bit over reaction.

instructions for how to find these yourself are kind of right there in
the blog so it's not too hard to generate these results yourself... I
don't really have enough time to review static checker warnings anymore
but I don't know who wants to do that job now.
If no more than three warnings you will post a week after filtering, feel
free to add me to your Cc list, better with the leading [triage smatch
warning] on the subject line the same way as the syzbot report.

Thanks
Hillf
Why do you keep adding linux-mm to the Cc list of random threads that are
not about MM?

That's kbuild-bot stuff. The kbuild-bot generates those emails and I
just look them over and hit send.

I don't why the kbuild bot CCs linux-mm either... Let me ask the devs
about that. A lot of the -mm warning are correct but just the CC list
is weird.

The kbuild-bot stuff is really nice for me. The kbuild-bot doesn't use
the cross function DB so everything is local to the function and easy to
review.

Sorry, wasn't clear that I was asking Hillf who did the Cc on this
thread and other threads (not only kbuild bot threads).

Sure, it's fine if a bug is suspected to be mm related that linux-mm is
Cc'd, even if it turns out a wrong guess in the end.

the cross function DB so everything is local to the function and easy to
