Most Linux exploits happen at the kernel level. This is why I always keep my kernel as up-to-date as possible. Whenever a new kernel package is released to the Gentoo repository, I compile it. And my config is heavily modified. Of course, doing both of those things can lead to problems, and it has many times. But, it's a learning experience and leads to a better system.

I'll have to check and see if 5.17.1 is still vulnerable to this.

Tested on Bullseye amd64 linux-image-amd64 5.16.18-1, it's fixed in versions 5.16.11, 5.15.25 and 5.10.102 (WSL)
