I will update the 4.19 package soon, and will include a fix for the
PBRSB (CVE-2022-26373) issue.  However, RETbleed (CVE-2022-29900 and
CVE-2022-29901) has not been fixed for 4.19 and probably never will be.
If you are hosting untrusted VMs then I strongly encourage you to use
Linux 5.10 or later.
