Comment on Dear Linux Kernel CNA, what have you done?parent

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure the market is there for the "plausible CVE" replacement you mention. We already have EPSS and KEV, and we regularly see attempts to replace CVSS with something better -- Zoom did something recently, as did Vulncheck I think. They don't tend to get much traction.

All the tooling that's been integrated everywhere is reliant on CVEs and CVSS. All vendors issue their vulns with CVEs, not ZoomVEs. Disruption is not likely unfortunately.

Yes, because vendors love the idea that "the community" is doing the job of digesting and distilling security issues for them, and all they have to do is slap a graphical interface on that data to charge $100k/yr to customers. There is absolutely no reason the Linux CNA should dignify that concern.

More importantly, how do you even get the reporters full report, not all vendors will supply this information, a lot of CVE data is lacking especially in closed source vendors.
