postmarketOS // v22.06 SP3: The One Where We Upgraded All The Kernels
Recently several WLAN security bugs were fixed in the linux kernel (oss-sec list, phoronix). This service pack brings related CVE patches to all devices in postmarketOS stable.
Usually service packs are for carrying features over from edge to stable, and security fixes are backported directly to stable without waiting for a service pack. However this time the fix was not a trivial patch (like the one for dirtypipe), and we decided to just upgrade the kernel to version 6.0.2 where possible. This needed additional time for packaging and testing, and it made sense to bundle this all in a service pack and have a proper announcement around it. So here we are!
As of writing, 6.0.3 is out already. But this is fine, the point is to bring a version we tested on the devices to stable, it doesn't need to be the very latest one as long as the important security bugs are fixed in the release we ship (in this case the WLAN CVEs, which are fixed in 6.0.2).
