Hello QEMU Developers! I hope this message finds you well. My name is Scott Seal, and I'm a Senior Security Engineer at Trail of Bits. As a security researcher, I am a heavy user (and great admirer) of QEMU.
Trail of Bits is running a security project with OpenAI: we're pairing our security engineers directly with a small number of OSS projects to spend a focused week finding and patching real vulnerabilities. QEMU looks like a strong fit. This is an opportunity for QEMU to get dedicated support identifying, triaging, and patching bugs with the latest AI tooling, before independent actors begin using similar tools to report or exploit vulnerabilities. Trail of Bits does the work, you get the fixes: - A Trail of Bits engineer dedicated to your project for the week - We validate every finding and submit patches ourselves - You can be as involved as you want, including not at all OpenAI is also happy to provide participants with: - 6 months of ChatGPT Pro, which includes Codex - Conditional access to Codex Security - API credits for coding, maintainer automation, release workflows, and core open source work Two quick questions for the maintainers: 1. Would you want QEMU to be part of this? 2. If interested, are you available the first week in June, and how much time could you spend that week? "A few hours" "heads-down for the week," or "none, just tell me what you find" all work. Let me know, and I'll get it set up! Thanks again for all your hard work. -- Scott Seal Senior Security Engineer | Trail of Bits trailofbits.com
