Fedora does not have an LTS release, but they patched 1 day before the CVE was published to the general public:

Fedora doesn't do LTS releases, but they released the patched kernel two days before the CVE was publicly announced:

43: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-bc7bd292...

44: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-7b153c4c...

Fedora 45 was only just recently release and Fedora 42 and earlier will never get an official patch since those are no longer maintained.
