It seems that most LTS distros didn’t get a heads up and there are no patches available. Uh oh.
It looks like the fixes were merged in 6.18, 6.19, and 7.0. But all older (but supported) LTS kernels didn’t have the fix, like 6.12, which is used in Debian 13. And it also seems that Ubuntu, RHEL, and SUSE had not picked up the patches in their kernel versions.
