    Description:
    Greg Kroah-Hartman has released the 6.12.2 , 6.11.11 , and 4.19.325 stable kernels. Note that both
    6.11.11 and 4.19.325 are the last kernels in those series, " please move
    off to a newer kernel version ". In the 4.19.325 release notice, he has
    a rather longer-than-usual message, including: As a "fun" proof that this one is finished (and that any company saying
    they care about it really should have their statements validated with
    facts), I looked at the "unfixed" CVEs from this kernel release.
    Currently it is a list 983 CVEs long, too long to list here. You can verify
    it yourself by cloning the vulns.git repo at
    git.kernel.org and running: ./scripts/strak v4.19.325 Note, this does NOT count the hardware CVEs which kernel.org does not
    track, and many are sill unfixed in this kernel branch.
