Didn't they just update to the latest patch level of upstream kernels? I have just updated my local copy of void-packages and I don't see any special mitigations, other than bumping the last digit in version string and updated checksum for the source tarball 🤔

Yes, I checked before update and rebooting, after the lastest 6.12.85_1 kernel the CVE was fixed. I was simply surprised that Void was that fast too since Debian supposedly had larger user- and dev-base.

Ha-ha, yeah, they have good build infrastructure, I give them that!
And xbps-src makes updating packages to the latest upstream very easy — unless patches require porting. Sometimes I don't even wait for maintainers to update it in void-packages and for binary packages to arrive, I see the upstream pushing out a new release, look up version of the latest tarball, update the version string in the package template, "xgensum -i pgk_name" to update the checksum, then "./xbps-src pkg pgk_name" and BOOM — in a few minutes I already have a binary package to distribute among my machines! I LOVE xbps-src! 😁

Nice! I am new to Void and have not checked its documents up enough, but xbps toolkit is truely impressive
