Are the older kernels patched? - robinc - 01-08-2019

One of the big pluses with LL is the ability to install older kernel versions easily.

However, what I would like to know please is whether these are patched with updates as and when they occur?

Using uname -a suggests that they are frozen in time as the dates are old.

They are patched up to and including the day they are created. There are no ongoing patches.
