TL;DR: Here is a summary of the text in 2 sentences: The upcoming Linux kernel version 6.16 will introduce changes to how it handles core dumps for crashed processes, aiming to reduce the number of vulnerabilities associated with this feature.

The 6.16 kernel will include a number of changes to how the kernel handles the processing of core dumps for crashed processes. Christian Brauner explained his reasons for doing this work as: "Because I'm a clown and also I had it with all the CVEs because we provide a ** API for userspace". The handling of core dumps has indeed been a constant source of vulnerabilities; with luck, the 6.16 work will result in rather fewer of them in the future.
