    this means they are getting found before someone else can abuse it. linux is getting more secure soon.

      Yeah, it’s funny when people shit on Linux just because people care enough to disclose vulnerabilities. Trust me that any proprietary system has just as many; they just get silently patched in this month’s security update.

      Computers are finicky things; the amount of known CVEs is simply a measure of how many people pentest the software and how big the project is, rather than any statement about its security.

    Any insight into the most severe ones, eg is remote exploitation possible and likely?

    The Linux project request CVEs for any memory safety bug just in case some turn out to be vulnerabilities, in which case they may be exploited given enough effort. Many are likely not exploitable or unlikely to be, and/or loaw severity.

    There are some higher severity ones given the following message. But this doesn’t mean all CVEs listed are severe issues.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
