Subject: Estimate for the total number of exploitable bugs in the current
 stable kernel?

What is an estimate for the total number of exploitable bugs in the
current stable linux kernel? (Jul 24 07:59:50 UTC 2017) Total
includes private and unknown bugs too.

Also does the number decrease, increase or change in other way over
time?

If the answer is rather hard or well, ``undecidable'' what about only
remote code execution bugs?

Similar question about bugs in a linux distro was asked on
oss-security and cypherpunks lists and some suggested "we can't tell".
