Canonical Moves Ubuntu Kernel CVE Fixes to Weekly Releases
Canonical is replacing Ubuntu's separate four-week Stable Release Update and two-week security-update schedules with overlapping two-week kernel release cycles, delivering a new kernel release each week. Each cycle spends its first week on package preparation, builds, smoke testing, and publication to the -proposed archive; certification, integration, and regression testing occur during the second week before general availability. The change responds to a growing volume of Linux kernel CVEs, including vulnerabilities identified through AI-assisted bug discovery and expanded upstream CVE assignment. Organizations that need patches sooner can deploy weekly -proposed release candidates, but must accept that Canonical certification is incomplete and assume more regression-testing responsibility. Canonical also plans to publish safe workarounds within 24–48 hours of public disclosure when fixes are unavailable, or provide hardening guidance where no workaround exists..
