Not sure how you expect the outstanding linux-firmware update to help
with any security things though ...

Looking at the changelog this particular update simply adds additional
firmware files to enable 6GHz Wifi support for intel wifi chipsets in
the phillipines area ...

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.39

Just because an update from jammy-updates is served in parallel from
security.ubuntu.com (which is simply an ubuntu archive policy so later
security updates do not skip any files) does not actually make the
content of the update a security update ...
