Huh, this is an interesting information! I wondered, why there was no new bpo-kerrnel after the discovery of CVE-2023-6546 in April. Kernel 6.1.0- got an update, but 6.5.0-bpo NOT. My question in the forum about this was not stisfactionally answered. But now we now: CVE-2023-6546 is still in 6.5.0-bpo! Thanks for the advice. Best Hans
