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.

These are updates that will come through the repo. See the release note that is referenced by phoronix.
Please note that the point release does not constitute a new version of Debian 12 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away old "bookworm" media. After installation, packages can be upgraded to the current versions using an up-to-date Debian mirror.
If I'm already running Debian 12, is this something that I have to manually upgrade to or will the security fixes have come in through the repo?
