What happened and what to do
In an article published by LWN on October 1, 2026, the publication reports that Greg Kroah-Hartman spoke at Kernel Recipes 2026 about the increase in security vulnerability reports enabled by LLMs, affecting open-source projects, including the kernel. The central message presented was “don’t panic.”
For a company receiving a high volume of security alerts, a practical response is to structure triage: collect reports in a traceable workflow, deduplicate them, record evidence, and route cases for technical review using defined criteria. A dashboard can track volume, status, and priority without treating every report as a confirmed vulnerability.
