@gregkh Is the Linux CVE json in a repo somewhere that people can send pull requests to? That might make it easier to get updates/contributions from folks doing further analysis of kernel flaws.

@kernellogger @kees @gregkh I also considered using the repo, especially the nice json files under cve/published/. However, the README[1] under cve/ made me hesitate. Quoting the part that made me unsure if it can be used.

For now, ignore this as we are getting things working properly…

@sj @kernellogger @kees Oops, need to fix that up, the repo is now handling "live" data, that is a hold-over from when it was just testing data...
