General Questions • [Software] Question about self compiled kernel security

$

Hi folks,
I sometimes compile some newer kernels for my machine (mainly just for testing purposes, as the bpo kernel works great). Now 2 things are unclear to me.

I compile e.g. https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel ... 6.9.tar.xz) using the .config of an installed debian-stable kernel. On one day there is a security issue with this kernel.

Its clear to me, that I will not get the security-fix by apt-get. But, whats the right way? Do I have to install a kernel-patch by hand, or is it possible to wait for - lets say - kernel 6.9.1 (and will security issues by fixed in the follow up kernel-version)?

Thanks a lot!
