The latest weekly testing candidate of the Linux kernel, version 6.16-rc6, has been released today, signaling the imminent arrival of the stable kernel release later this month. Among the noteworthy additions in this version are patches designed to mitigate Transient Scheduler Attacks (TSA), a vulnerability primarily affecting AMD Zen 3 and Zen 4 processors that was disclosed this week. The integration of these patches underscores a commitment to bolstering system security.
