    "Several" feels a bit of an understatement, there are 1313 CVEs listed on that page!

    Wonder how many of these NSA and others been sitting on, for how long and how many are still there? I guess the silver lining with the aixplosion of CVEs is that software eventually will get more secure.

      Any kernel bug gets a CVE even if it's not really a vulnerability or can be exploited
