Greg Kroah-Hartman is writing a series of blog posts about Linux becoming a Certificate Numbering Authority (CNA): It's been almost 2 full years since Linux became a CNA (Certificate Numbering Authority) which meant that we (i.e. the kernel.org community) are now responsible for issuing all CVEs for the Linux kernel. During this time, we've become one of the largest creators of CVEs by quantity, going from nothing to number 3 in 2024 to number 1 in 2025. Naturally, this has caused some questions about how we are both doing all of this work, and how people can keep track of it. So far, Kroah-Hartman has published the introductory post, as well as a detailed post about kernel version numbers that is well worth reading.
