• More stable kernels with partial Dirty Frag fixes

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Sat May 9 06:40:09 2026

    Greg Kroah-Hartman has released the 6.1.171, 5.15.205, and 5.10.255 stable kernels, quickly
    followed by 6.1.172 and 5.15.206 kernels. This is another round
    of stable kernels to provide fixes for one of the CVEs (CVE-2026-43284) assigned following the Dirty
    Frag and Copy Fail 2
    security disclosures. There is not, yet, a stable kernel with a fix
    for CVE-2026-43500,
    though a
    patch to fix the second half is in the works.
