Greg Kroah-Hartman has released three more stable kernels: 6.13.3, 6.12.14, and 6.6.78. There was a bit of confusion that resulted in the patch for CVE 2025-21687 getting applied twice — but that doesn't result in any problems for users of the kernel, just a bit of extra...

The 6.14-rc3 kernel prepatch is out for testing; the announcement, for unknown reasons, went only to the linux-btrfs list. So the first few weeks of the 6.14 release development were smaller-than-usual, but rc3 is actually right in line with normal releases at this point....
