Linux 7.0-rc7 targets AI security report noise
Linux 7.0-rc7 updates `security-bugs.rst` to provide clear documentation for AI tools, aiming to reduce low-quality automated submissions. The kernel team now mandates specific metadata and patch formats to ensure AI-found bugs are actionable.
Maintainers are finally fighting back against the "firehose" of low-quality LLM security scans by making AI a first-class, if noisy, citizen in the kernel's reporting ecosystem. Documentation is being repurposed as "prompt engineering" for autonomous agents, while the "patch-or-ignore" stance forces AI tool users to prioritize quality over volume, setting a template for how other massive open-source projects will handle agentic contributions.
