About this paper
Luyao bai, Gengda She, Kenan Alghythee, Hang Zhang, Xiaoguang Wang
The authors organize 140 kernel bug-fixing efforts and systems across discovery, triage, generation, validation, and integration, arguing automation weakens downstream. They measure 6,946 eventually fixed syzbot bugs: median crash-to-fix latency was 35 days, and 13% took over a year. This describes fixed syzbot reports, not all kernel bugs, and timestamps do not identify a single cause.
