Three stable kernels for Thursday
Posted by ilep@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 2 comments
Just FYI, there are three new kernels released yesterday: 7.0.7, 6.18.30 and 6.12.88. There isn't specific thing that they fix but they are the regular "everyone should update" releases that have a bunch of fixes at once.
Potentially with recent disclosures there might be new versions soon or we'll see fixes in the regular updates.

Are serious vulnerabilties coming out at a faster rate these days, or is it more a consequence of media focus on agentic AI?

I would bet on the second. In addition, recent vulnerabilities (like Dirty Flag) were quite "over-advertised" by some media as very serious vulnerabilities. While they are... Normal users in most cases are safe because recent ones require your machine to be already accessable/compromised to exploit privilege escalation. Tho I'd prefer this situation than no media coverage at all
