Looks like the issue was fixed upstream a month ago. Might have been nice to know earlier? Is this how long it takes for the distros to lurch into action?

  The fix was pushed just now to stable kernels.

    That's just a detail of how linux is developed. The fixing patch was mailed on May 17th and it mentions the CVE.

      That's more or less the time it takes to test the patch and for cloud providers to apply the patch so there isn't large-scale mayhem.
