    vulnerabilities tested, don’t impact the PS5 in any way, does that mean technically Sony could get sued for not recontributing code back to the Linux projects?

    No.

    Let’s assume someone ships the Linux kernel in a device and the kernel has a vulnerability in some obscure subsystem (e.g. AFS) that is never used by the device. The device will not be affected by this vulnerability because the code can’t be reached.
