AI models like GLM-5.3 drive Linux kernel CVE count toward 2,000 per release

Chinese AI firm Z.ai's GLM-5.3 model helped find over 1,000 critical vulnerabilities in open-source projects including the Linux kernel, adding to a wave of AI-discovered bugs this year. Kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman showed data indicating CVEs fixed per kernel release have surged from about 500 to nearly 2,000 as AI code-review tools improve.

Linux kernel CVE counts nearing 2,000 per release, Kroah-Hartman says

Greg Kroah-Hartman previewed data for his Kernel Recipes 2026 talk in Paris showing that AI and LLM tools scanning the Linux kernel codebase have driven a sharp rise in reported vulnerabilities. Releases that once averaged around 500 fixed CVEs are now approaching 2,000, with Linux 7.3 potentially crossing that mark.
