The kernel has also been removing a bunch of old unmaintained drivers due to these reports.
I have to wonder how many of these 1000 paths are simply dead drivers with security vulnerabilities [1]. Impossible to exploit because nobody uses it, but easy enough to juice up the numbers of "found" vulnerabilities.
I said in another comment that I await the technical writeup of the so-called new techniques that they aren't sharing for "safety reasons" but if history is anything to go on, they will never publish a writeup. They set out to get their headline and that's where the work stops.
