Here is what I did,
1] Download the latest stable from kernel.org
2] copy old .config from currently working one
Here is one link, recommended by someone from list to me before.
http://andreas.goelzer.de/kernel-config-based-on-lsmod-output
and then run configure and make-kpkg
Frankly speaking, in the past several kernel I tried, even though I do
believe it's built very blindly, but overall it works. For the security
reason you concerned, I don't know, but stability are very well.
Best regards,
