Here's a bit more up to date version of the "how many CVEs have we fixed" stats than what I showed earlier this week at @KernelRecipes as I was able to catch up on some reviews on my way home on the train.

Also cve.org just crossed the 100000 numbering barrier just now, first time that ever has happened, hopefully no scripts broke. And yes, the kernel.org CNA has CVE-2026-100000 reserved, need to find a "good" bug for that one, suggestions welcome!

@gregkh @KernelRecipes we also got CVE-XXXX-[7 digits] already back in 2017/2018 for some reason.

@bagder @gregkh @KernelRecipes Those were from DWF (Distributed Weakness Filling), co-created by @joshbressers. They were a kind of fork of the CVE program and so the numbers start at the 7 digits to avoid collisions, considering they were dispatching CVE IDs.
