Debian Bullseye is vulnerable, Bookworm has it fixed in the security updates (kernel 6.1.176-1), Trixie is safe for both, regular and security updates (kernel 6.12.86-1 and 6.12.95-1).

trixie - 6.12

That sucks, but not much (all "local account required" vulns are like that). I need to stay on 6.8 both for proper PM support for hibernation and because of the Nvidia drivers.
