Latest Debian 13 “Trixie” Kernel Security Update Patches More Than 1300 CVEs
Yes, you’re reading it right, the new Debian 13 Linux kernel security update is a massive one, probably the biggest kernel security release ever, and it patches no less than 1313 security vulnerabilities in the Linux 6.12 LTS kernel series that powers Debian Trixie.
Why so many, you may ask. Well, because of several reasons, one of them being the recent policy change in CVE assignment for the kernel project, where essentially any commit identified as fixing a potential security issue gets a CVE assigned, even if it’s a minor one or has no known exploit path.
