This is a problem with LTS distro kernels in general. You're trading the feeling of stability at the kernel level for security updates.

This is not a problem with Debian LTS, you’re getting timely security updates. Debian fixed this vulnerability three weeks ago within two days: https://www.debian.org/lts/security/

LTS distros can track the LTS kernels and they’ve all been updated

For Ubuntu it was _all_ their kernels though...
