<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Brian,
Probably not at all. Note the breadth of the problem and the
level. It affects a broad range of kernels, and will be
attended to by the people who can address this at the kernel
level. Keep an eye on updates, that is do them regularly,
but no need to panic. I am assuming you are not running the
servers for Cisco or AWS, just doing personal business on
your machine. You do turn it off at night?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I usually
like to be aware of the issues, but have confidence in the
people at the kernel and OS levels who can address any
issue, whether in the kernel, the OS or any application I am
likely to use. I also try to be aware of my system's usual
behaviors: amount of ram and cpu in normal use, speed of my
applications and the loading of webpages. These are inexact,
but for a personal computer at my level of involvement seem
good enough. I am a bit cavalier about issues as a fresh
install(after the issues has been addressed) can remedy any
severe issues and I don't have my machine too heavily
tweaked that I cannot start over again. I will eat my words
if I do lose some files I have failed to back up recently,
but that's the extent of my vulnerability. <br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I do also
try to read up on "Gnu/Linux news" as a topic several times
a week. When an issue hits I will look for the remedy being
developed or implemented in a timely way. This one could be
tricky, since it is in the kernel. It is also a kernel piece
that has been retained over a long period. I will look at
the release dates for the 5.14 and 6.6 kernels to see how
long. Hang in there and don't fret. Thank you, Ted P<br>
