LTS uses the 5.15 Linux kernel (by default). This vulnerability impacts 6.2.

If I understand correctnly… Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS has 5.19 kernel by default: https://9to5linux.com/ubuntu-22-04-2-lts-released-with-linux-kernel-5-19-updated-components “the Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS point release also comes with a newer kernel, namely Linux 5.19, from the Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) release”

As you said, if it is only 6.2, still out of the window.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
