Or they are unfixed upstream (there are a good few of those).

Debian has a public list of all unembargoed kernel security issues that
have CVEs (and a few that don't), with references to any upstream
commits and fixed stable versions - but only for the stable branches
that our stable releases follow.

The mapping of CVE IDs to commits may be useful to other stable
maintainers, even if the rest isn't.
