Yay. Any news about updates on the Linux front?

I saw Ubuntu had a new version of Linux-firmware posted since last time I updated, but I’m not continuously updating so I’m not sure if that’s this thing or something else entirely.

It's not a bug in the PSP itself, it's a bug in the Windows driver for it. According to the security bulletin [0], it's due to a misconfiguration of DACLs (which is Windows specific), so I don't think it affects Linux users.
