XanMod has released three new kernel builds: 7.1.2-xanmod1, 7.0.14-xanmod1, and 6.18.37-xanmod1 LTS, which include essential upstream maintenance and custom performance enhancements. Key updates include fixes for virtiofs use-after-free vulnerabilities, improved networking, and memory safety enhancements for the bnxt_re driver. The XanMod project maintains a focus on performance, providing a dedicated PREEMPT_RT variant for low-latency applications, and supports various CPU architectures through its four ABI tiers. Users can upgrade their Debian and Ubuntu systems through XanMod's APT repository, although they should be cautious about compatibility with proprietary DKMS modules
