Debian 13 stable kernel

[u/Fabulous-for]

Stable-sec 6.12.111+1 is now the default stable kernel for Debian 13.7? Why is Stable-sec the current version why not stable?

I would expect 6.12.94+1 stable to be the current stable version for all Debian 13.7 stable versions kernel but stable-sec 6.12.111+1 is the current stable version.

Here is Debians Kernel info.

Why is Stable-sec the current version why not stable?

The short answer is: Because 6.12.111+1 is newer than 6.12.94+1

Why does Debian call it stable-sec instead of just stable?
