Linux is a CNA
As was recently announced, the Linux kernel project has been accepted as a CNA as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) for vulnerabilities found in Linux.
This is a trend, of more open source projects taking over the half-hazard assignments of CVEs against their project by becoming a CNA so that no other group can assign CVEs without their involvment. Here’s the curl project doing much the same thing for the same reasons.

KEP of the Week
KEP-3962: Mutating Admission Policies
This KEP introduces mutating admission policies, declared using CEL expressions, improving on mutating admission webhooks. It leverages the power of CEL object construction and Server Side Apply’s merge algorithms to allow in-process mutations.
Mutations are specified within a MutatingAdmissionPolicy resource, referencing parameter resources for configuration. Reinvocation will support it as well. Metrics and safety checks are being developed to ensure idempotence and deterministic final states. While limitations exist (e.g., no deletion), this feature offers a declarative and efficient way to perform common mutations, reducing complexity and improving performance.
This KEP was created in 2023, and is planned to reach its alpha milestone in v1.30 release.
Other Merges
ValidatingAdmissionPolicy supports variables in type checks
kubectl explain shows enum values if available
Wildcard events will get requeued
kubeadm: finalize phase uses auth context
Priority and Fairness allows ConcurrencyShares to be zero
Add porto support for vanity imports of the Kubernetes code
Promotions
