Confirm receipt — these defects span multiple kernel subsystems; please route to the appropriate maintainers (audit, netdev, neighbour, drivers/base, bpf, pktgen, taskstats). +1. Confirm receipt — these defects span multiple kernel subsystems; please route to the appropriate maintainers (scripts/, audit, netdev, neighbour, drivers/base, bpf, pktgen, taskstats). 2. Validate each patch against the corresponding subsystem test suite. 3. Assess CVE eligibility — linux-0001 affects every audited syscall on hardened Linux systems. 4. Coordinate a disclosure date — we are targeting 90 days from first contact.
