Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 6.12.102 , 6.6.150 , 6.1.182 , 5.15.215 , 5.10.264 stable kernels. This round of stable kernel releases contains a fix for a single bug, found by Thomas Lamprecht , that affected several of the kernels released yesterday in response to a security vulnerability ( CVE-2026-68480 ) that could allow data leakage through speculative execution. The 6.12.102 release adds the backported security fix for CVE-2026-68480 to the 6.12 series. As always, users are advised to upgrade.
