Greg Kroah-Hartman has released the 6.12.2, 6.11.11, and 4.19.325 stable kernels. Note that both6.11.11 and 4.19.325 are the last kernels in those series, "please moveoff to a newer kernel version". In the 4.19.325 release notice, he hasa rather longer-than-usual message, including:
As a "fun" proof that this one is finished (and that any company sayingthey care about it really should have their statements validated withfacts), I looked at the "unfixed" CVEs from this kernel release.Currently it is a list 983 CVEs long, too long to list here.

You can verify it yourself by cloning the vulns.git repo atgit.kernel.org and running:

./scripts/strak v4.19.325
Note, this does NOT count the hardware CVEs which kernel.org does nottrack, and many are sill unfixed in this kernel branch.
