    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.
