How the Kernel CVEs screensaver works

The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.

CVE assignments announced by the Linux kernel’s own numbering authority, key-less. The kernel assigns one to nearly every fix that could conceivably be security-relevant, so read the subsystem prefix rather than the volume.

It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.

Colours and any options can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
