Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 5.10.216 / 5.15.158 / 6.1.90 or later
Fixed in 5.10.2165.15.1586.1.90
Vendor patch git.kernel.org →
Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to kernel >= 5.10.216, >= 5.15.158, >= 6.1.90, or >= 6.6.30 (choose the appropriate branch for your distribution)

  1. 1. Identify current kernel version using 'uname -r'
  2. 2. Determine the appropriate upgrade path based on current kernel version (5.10.x -> 5.10.216+, 5.15.x -> 5.15.158+, 6.1.x -> 6.1.90+, or 6.2.x -> 6.6.30+)
  3. 3. Update package repositories and install the new kernel version using the distribution's package manager (e.g., 'apt update && apt upgrade' for Debian/Ubuntu, or 'yum/dnf update' for RHEL/Fedora)
  4. 4. Reboot the system to load the new kernel
  5. 5. Verify the new kernel version is running with 'uname -r' and confirm the fix is applied
Caveat Kernel upgrades may require rebooting services; ensure compatibility with existing system configurations and custom modules
