From Greg KH [1]:

> All users of the 4.6 kernel series must upgrade.

Change-log [2][3]:

> "Networking stack improvements, updated drivers"
>
> Yes, Linux kernel 4.6.4 is here, and it's the latest and most advanced
> kernel version for GNU/Linux operating systems, but looking at the
> appended shortlog we can notice very few improvements. Besides the usual
> updated drivers, this time for things like crypto and USB, there are
> only networking stack improvements, for the AX.25 data link layer
> protocol, the IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, kernel connection multiplexer
> (KCM), bridge, and the packet scheduler.
>
> In numbers, there are only 36 changed files, with 216 insertions and 98
> deletions, so yes, this is one of the smallest updates for the Linux 4.6
> kernel series so far. However, this does not mean you don't need to
> update your system as soon as it lands in the main software repositories
> of your GNU/Linux distribution. OS vendors can download the Linux kernel
> 4.6.4 sources right now via our website or from kernel.org.
