minus-square astraeus ( @astraeus@programming.dev ) linkfedilink10•1 year agoCouldn’t find whether this even impacts LTS builds. Either way, seems like patching should resolve the issue
minus-square style99 ( @style99@kbin.social ) linkfedilink4•1 year agoLTS uses the 5.15 Linux kernel (by default). This vulnerability impacts 6.2.
minus-square RoundSparrow ( @RoundSparrow@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilink6•edit-21 year agoIf I understand correctnly… Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS has 5.19 kernel by default: https://9to5linux.com/ubuntu-22-04-2-lts-released-with-linux-kernel-5-19-updated-components “the Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS point release also comes with a newer kernel, namely Linux 5.19, from the Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) release” As you said, if it is only 6.2, still out of the window.
