The 4.10.11,4.9.23,4.4.62, and3.18.49 stable kernel updates areavailable. For those who are surprised to see a 3.18 update after thatseries was declared end-of-life, Greg Kroah-Hartman explains it this way: "3.18? Wasn't that kernel dead and forgotten and left torot on the side of the road? Yes, it was, but unfortunately, there's afew million or so devices out there in the wild that still rely on thiskernel. Now, some of their manufacturers and SoC vendors might not bekeeping their kernels up to date very well, but some do actually careabout security and their users, so this release is for them. If youhappen to have a vendor that does not care about their users, gocomplain, as odds are, your device is very insecure right now..."
