From CVEs To Compliance: Automating Embedded Linux Kernel Security
summary
A CI-based vulnerability response pipeline automatically triages hundreds of kernel CVEs, applies clean upstream patches on a CI pass, and routes conflicting or version-mismatched fixes to an AI-assisted backport pass that analyzes upstream commits, suggests candidate patches, and extracts a security invariant to verify intent. Builds go through the same validation gate with LTP and conor self test and device hardware runs; result shortens response time but still requires human review for failed agents, exploit-like tests, and high-risk decisions.
