A point: In order to exploit this vulnerability, the malicious actor would need to have local access to the machine. I point this out for fair consideration; not to downplay the seriousness of any vulnerability.

Is the current kernel from Zorin OS affected?

Quite possibly. The most I can find is that it likely affects all kernels up until 6.3.1

How to mitigate the vulnerability and secure your computer

Elevate to Root:

sudo -i

Deny access for unprivileged users:

sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0
