All patches should be upstream. There's no reason for keeping anything non-upstream in your project. > The patches are based on 5.8, but will be rebased on 5.10 as soon its > final version is released. The fact that you're playing a catch up game and don't even have 5.9 does not bring confidence that security problems can be quickly addressed. > To achieve that, we rely on very aggressive optimizations such as > disabling modularity, enabling options for embedded systems, reducing > the maximum number of cores and memory, disabling most options and > drivers, optimizing for size (-Os)... What you're describing is just a different kernel config. Such kernel should be built from Fedora kernel sources using a different kernel config. > In other words, a CVE in the kernel bundled in libkrunfw won't have > any impact on the host's security. Even if this was the case, it would still be a security issue in the application and as such should be promptly fixed.
