Subject: Best practice to upgrade kernel
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2019 11:17:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3CFD8D9A-EC79-47B3-A15F-5A27E6EA5B4D@mail.usf.edu> (raw)

Hi all,

I have a newbie question. I’m using a 3.18.66 kernel branch from Qualcomm. Over the year I’ve applied some of patched here and there manually.

But It seems Qualcomm does not patch lot of newly released vulnerabilities. I would love to upgrade to the latest 3.18.138 (not 4.x)

What is the best practice here? 

Thanks
-Dan
