Peter Gutmann backs splitting oss-security so Apache CVE floods do not bury the main list.

On oss-security, Peter Gutmann replied to a proposal for a separate vulnerability-reports list amid what the subject calls an AI “vulnpocalypse.” He said Apache CVE posts, not only Apache Camel, often fill his entire mail summary and suggested a daily digest with links. The message is about list volume and filtering, not a particular flaw or patch.

Key facts
  • Gutmann wants the Apache vulnerability flood turned into a daily digest
  • He says Apache CVEs can fill an entire mail summary pane
  • Thread proposes a separate oss-security vulnerability-reports list
  • The post discloses no specific CVE, exploit, or affected version
