Hello everyone! The Debian development branch "bullseye"(/testing) is in

Do you know how Debian handles situations like the current
CVE-2021-33909 patched kernel being already in /unstable but for sure
also /testing, the soon /stable, would benefit from receiving the patch
as provided in 5.10.46-2 ?
The patched version I am speaking about is this:
linux-image-5.10.0-8-amd64/unstable 5.10.46-2 amd64
In my "bullseye" installation, which I update daily, I still have
linux-image-5.10.0-7-amd64/testing,now 5.10.40-1 amd64
5.10.46-2 is now in testing, I've just updated to it.
Presumably the process is as described in full freeze announcement,
i.e. package developer makes unblock request to allow migration into
testing and release team grant it if they think it meets the criteria
for release.
