No it hasn't.

Ubuntu before 26.04 LTS (released a week ago) are currently listed as vulnerable.

Debian other than forky and sid are currently listed as vulnerable.

This is a disgrace.

      The lesson here being... compile your own kernel from git sources every few days?

      Give up entirely on non-virtualized container security?

      This is not sarcasm. I'd finally given in and started learning about docker/podman-style OCI containerization last week.
