    Many of these are months old, why are they being announced as if they were brand new?

    I mean honestly, CVE-2026-23137 doesn't affect kernels after January (6.18.6 and beyond), so even LTS kernel users should have the patch for this for several months.

    Don't get me wrong, informing people is good, this is just a strange wall of every kernel CVE this year - the kernel has a lot of CVEs every year (moreso lately with AI scanning/research, but still).
