Headline is a bit misleading... This is just Tails updating to the latest LTS kernel, which has the security fix (which many other distributions have done).

This update is a good thing, but the headline made it sound like the Tails project was contributing a fix to the kernel.

Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Agree, I opened the link because I thought the same thing

is it any better now?

I personally still find it a little confusing. Maybe something like "Tails updates to Linux Kernel 5.16.1 to fix critical vulnerability"

Good job, Tails! Now fly me to that platform over there...
