I don’t understand why they haven’t pulled the update… it is still in the repo and your system will upgrade to it if you run apt update.

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.

I just tried to update and it failed with error 403 when it tried to download the kernel, so it seems like they took measures.
This was already fixed in 6.1.66. Both are "old" kernels, so it's nothing to worry about, unless you/your distro was deliberately staying on 6.1 for some odd reason (yes, I'm aware 6.1 is LTS, but so is 6.6).
Debian Stable is on 6.1.
Does this affect ubuntu and raspberry os releases as well? Since these are based on debian?
Unlikely as they both have their own kernels.
Edit: actually raspberry pi uses a 6.1 kernel it seems so this might affect them. But they aren’t using the Debian package directly.
I saw this on Mastodon this morning. Which is lucky since Linux Mint Debian Edition offered to install this kernel this morning too.
Obviously I deselected that option and only installed the other updates. I'll wait for it to offer 6.1.66
Zabbly 6.6 is available
