The 6.9.6, 6.6.35, 6.1.95, and 5.10.220 stable kernels have all been released; as usual, users are advised to update immediately.

The usual "must upgrade"

The announcements don't say "immediately". They use the usual language: "All users of the x.y kernel series must upgrade."

That being said, look for "use-after-free" in the logs. Quite a lot. One is in btrfs. Another argument for implementing filesystems in Rust.

Skimmed it looking for anything “headline worthy” and nothing jumped out, but that's a good thing. But still, quite a few iwlwifi fixes and that's fairly common hardware, and the big chunk of cachefiles stability fixes looks relevant to me.
