Source for the fix: https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=52f650963d8825e97a0ccdd2b616f8a01d9d3d38

The commit introducing the bug was merged into 6.18 (LTS) on June 19th, after the bug was already reported.
The fix was made on June 24th, and merged into linux main branch on July 1st, there's been three stable kernel releases since the fix, and four LTS kernel releases; none of them included the fix.

Truly, the year of linux on desktop (where your entire OS will crash when you try to play video on your desktop, both on stable and on LTS kernel, and it's not considered to be a large problem.)
