Hello Ken.
Various things that people might find helpful:
1) BleepingComputer talks about CVE-2022-0847, not -0487 which is another
unimportant issue.
2) If you want to be kept aware of security issues involving debian, you
should subscribe to debian-security-announce@???
3) To take a gander at the state of the linux kernel shipped with the various
version of debian, there is this tracker:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/linux
You can see in the tracker that CVE-2022-0847 is resolved. See DSA-5092-1 and
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-0847
As a rule of thumb, you should trust debian's various trackers to report the
effective state of each package.
Cheers,
Ludovic
