After the release of Linux kernel 3.9.1, Greg Kroah-Hartman has also announced that the twelfth maintenance release for the stable Linux 3.8 kernel series is available for download.

Actually, Linux kernel 3.8.12 includes mostly the same changes as Linux 3.9.1 kernel, so you should check out the announcement for Linux kernel 3.9.1.

"I'm announcing the release of the 3.8.12 kernel. All users of the 3.8 kernel series must upgrade. The updated 3.8.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-3.8.y and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary," Greg Kroah-Hartman said in the official release announcement.

As usual, Linux kernel 3.8.12 is a must-grab update for all users of the 3.9.x branch. Linux kernels 3.9.1, 3.0.77 and 3.4.47 were also released today.
