$1 Million Sandbox Challenge Uncovers Linux Kernel Flaws

A challenge with a $1 million prize has led to the discovery of flaws in the Linux kernel. The challenge, referred to as the Sandbox Challenge, generated a large number of vulnerability reports, which were submitted to Vercel. As a result, Vercel had to implement automated processes for sorting through the reports. The challenge involved AI-assisted researchers who submitted a flood of reports to the company. The high volume of submissions necessitated the automation of vulnerability triage. The challenge was successful in uncovering previously unknown Linux kernel flaws.
