LLMs and the kernel security process
Speaker
Greg Kroah-Hartman
Linux Foundation

Greg Kroah-Hartman is a Fellow at the Linux Foundation. He is
currently responsible for the stable Linux kernel releases, is a
member of the Linux security team and CNA, and is a maintainer
of the USB, TTY, and driver core subsystems in the kernel as
well as other portions of the codebase that he wishes he could
forget about, but LLM-generated reports keep that from
happening.

Description
Right now the networking subsystem is taking the brunt of the abuse of recent LLM advances with a flood of “security” bug reports. This talk will go into a bit of the history of what has been happening, how the kernel security team has tried to make it better, and perhaps a few things that we can do in the future to reduce the load you all are currently having. Also any feedback on what the kernel security team can do better to help aleviate the load is always welcome.
