Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * kernel: vmwgfx: NULL pointer dereference in vmw_cmd_dx_define_query (CVE-2022-38096) * kernel: Out of boundary write in perf_read_group() as result of overflow a perf_event's read_size (CVE-2023-6931) * kernel: GSM multiplexing race condition leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2023-6546,ZDI-CAN-20527) * kernel: CIFS Filesystem Decryption Improper Input Validation Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in function receive_encrypted_standard of client (CVE-2024-0565) * kernel: use-after-free in amdgpu_cs_wait_all_fences in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cs.c (CVE-2023-51042) * kernel: ext4: kernel bug in ext4_write_inline_data_end() (CVE-2021-33631) * kernel: nf_tables: use-after-free vulnerability in the nft_verdict_init() function (CVE-2024-1086) Bug Fix(es): * OCP 4.12 crashed due to use-after-free in libceph in rhel8 (JIRA:AlmaLinux-21394) * kernel: nf_tables: use-after-free vulnerability in the nft_verdict_init() function (JIRA:AlmaLinux-24010) * Screen floods with random colour suggesting something not initialised (JIRA:AlmaLinux-21055) * kernel: vmxgfx: NULL pointer dereference in vmw_cmd_dx_define_query (JIRA:AlmaLinux-22766) * tx-checksumming required for accessing port in OpenShift for AlmaLinux 8.6 (JIRA:AlmaLinux-20822) * kernel: CIFS Filesystem Decryption Improper Input Validation Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in function receive_encrypted_standard of client (JIRA:AlmaLinux-22077) * kernel: Out of boundary write in perf_read_group() as result of overflow a perf_event's read_size (JIRA:AlmaLinux-22930) * rbd: don't move requests to the running list on errors [8.x] (JIRA:AlmaLinux-24204) * kernel: use-after-free in amdgpu_cs_wait_all_fences in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cs.c (JIRA:AlmaLinux-24479) * ceph: several cap and snap fixes (JIRA:AlmaLinux-20909) * [RHVH] Migration hangs between RHVH release bellow 4.5.1 and RHVH over or equal 4.5.2 release (JIRA:AlmaLinux-23063) * unable to access smsc95xx based interface unless you start outgoing traffic.
