You'll see output of cve-check on the yocto-security list for layers that are
still in maintenance:

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-security/messages

although zeus is out of maintenance.

We merge CVE fixes to the branches that are in maintenance.

A graph showing the data over time:

Steven, if you haven’t already, you should subscribe to 

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto-security

Emails are sent out, usually on Sunday. If you see a CVE that interests you… grab it and fix it.

This is mostly a community effort. There is no special dedicated squad of security champions.

Cheers,

Richard
