Default Kernel Security Warnings: daily security informations?

Everybody,

Where could I get daily status informations about security warnings
belonging to the kernel (and not to distributions).

Are there any releases of kernel patches if security holes being found. Or
do the kernel releases found on kernel.org get updated regularly. Anyhow,
how long does it take if security holes get fixed and what steps should I
perform for critical systems.

Thank you very much.

man syslog.conf

then configure your /etc/syslog.conf to dump kernel messages wherever
you want them.

Consider signing up for a security mailing list related to your
distribution. You will
probably be notified of security advisories related to your 3rd party
apps (such as
apache and sendmail) as well as the kernel itself.
