    Is there a way to know if a particular vanilla kernel has a particular CVE addressed? Unhelpfully, the ChangeLog-* only seems to contain sporadic references to CVEs.

        That&#x27;s useful if you run a Debian-packaged kernel.

        Searching around, the best I have found so far for vanilla kernels is: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linuxcvetracker.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linuxcvetracker.com

          You can script around <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.kernel.org&#x2F;pub&#x2F;scm&#x2F;linux&#x2F;security&#x2F;vulns.git&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.kernel.org&#x2F;pub&#x2F;scm&#x2F;linux&#x2F;security&#x2F;vulns.git&#x2F; (which is likely what the page you linked use)
