```diff
+ We continue to monitor our systems and track upstream OS providers’ security releases; as of November 9, 2026, the majority of upstream vendors have provided updated kernel packages that include fixes for this vulnerability, and we recommend customers apply those updates to their Linodes. Customers using the Linode provided kernel are likewise advised to deploy the latest version as indicated on our kernels page. By applying IPv4 network rules to both public and VPC interfaces, we have already eliminated the immediate remote attack vector, addressing the root vulnerability rather than just the MPTCP exploit. We remain committed to improving our systems and reducing the risk of similar issues in the future.
