A new benchmark called Porting Benchmark has been developed to evaluate the effectiveness of automated security patch backporting tools across diverse scenarios. This benchmark, comprising 1,234 cases, reveals that current tools struggle with generalization, with performance degrading significantly on complex patches. The research identifies key failure categories and suggests directions for future tool development, highlighting that standard benchmark scores may not fully reflect real-world remediation capabilities.
