The patch rolled out to LMDE yesterday (kernel v6.12.85), so I assume the number of affected systems has to be well on the wane by now.
(In that Debian is often well behind the cutting edge and Mint/LMDE is often a step or two behind that. Things are quicker than usual when there’s a showstopper kernel bug, but the lag factor is still there.)

I seem to remember hearing about a town that installed cameras to
spy on citizensmonitor for crime and took them all down again when a judge enforced freedom of information legislation. That is, the public requested access to what the cameras recorded and were found to be entitled to it.It’s not true that if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear, but the converse is true. And dirty cops reeeally don’t like it.
