Kroah-Hartman stated that the CVE system is broken but emphasized, 'this change is a way for us to take more responsibility for this, and hopefully make the process better over time.' By assuming the responsibility of assigning CVEs, the Linux kernel developers can ensure that no entity can issue vulnerabilities without their input, thus maintaining the integrity of the Linux ecosystem and addressing key security challenges directly.
Kroah-Hartman highlighted the importance of context regarding the CVEs: 'You see, the Linux kernel has 38 million lines of code. You only use a little bit of this.' This remark aims to alleviate concerns by indicating that not every CVE will impact every user, as actual usage of Linux varies significantly depending on the environment.
