### Key Discussion Points

*   **Kernel Vulnerabilities ("fragnesia"):**
    *   More kernel updates are expected to address new code paths for the "fragnesia" vulnerability, discovered with the help of AI analysis.
    *   There is frustration over the lack of responsible disclosure from some security firms, who appear to prioritize publicity over security.
    *   The fixes for "fragnesia" are not yet in the upstream stable kernel (e.g., 7.0.7) as they are still under discussion, but Fedora is applying them as patches in the meantime.
*   **Fedora and LTS Kernels:**
    *   Fedora has no plans to offer an official Long-Term Support (LTS) kernel.
    *   The current high-pressure situation with security emergencies is a key reason for not taking on the extra workload an LTS kernel would require.
*   **Communicating Security Issues to Users:**
    *   The group discussed the best way to inform users about the ongoing kernel vulnerabilities.
    *   The consensus is to use existing channels like the Fedora Discourse forums, Reddit, and other social media rather than creating new, dedicated security channels.
    *   It was noted that Bodhi updates are tagged with CVEs when available.
*   **FIPS Mode in Fedora:**
    *   There was a discussion about documentation for enabling FIPS mode.
    *   It was pointed out that FIPS is for compliance and can sometimes enforce older, less secure cryptographic standards (e.g., pbkdf2 over argon2).
    *   It's important to clarify that while Fedora can operate in FIPS mode, the distribution itself is *not* FIPS certified, as the certification process takes longer than a Fedora release cycle.

### Action Items

*   **thebeanogamer:** Proofread the FIPS documentation pull request at `https://forge.fedoraproject.org/security/docs/pulls/14/files` and consider adding notes about the security vs. compliance trade-offs of FIPS mode.
*   **thebeanogamer:** Contact `glb` (Fedora Magazine editor) to discuss potential communications (e.g., a Magazine article or social media post) regarding the recent wave of kernel CVEs.
