RLSA-2026:38491

Synopsis

Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Description

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: Linux kernel: Memory leak in networking due to incorrect GRO packet handling (CVE-2026-22979)

* kernel: rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter() (CVE-2026-43499)

* kernel: net: bridge: use a stable FDB dst snapshot in RCU readers (CVE-2026-46086)

* kernel: crypto: ccp - copy IV using skcipher ivsize (CVE-2026-53016)

* kernel: futex/requeue: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in remove_waiter() on self-deadlock (CVE-2026-53166)

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

* Kernel panic very early during boot while reading a tracefs file (available_filter_functions) due to invalid module name pointer [9.8.z] (JIRA:Rocky Linux-183236)
