Moderate: kernel security update
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * kernel: Linux kernel: Use-after-free in device mapper due to race condition in zone reporting (CVE-2025-38141) * kernel: Linux kernel io_uring: Local privilege escalation, information disclosure, or denial of service via use-after-free (CVE-2025-38106) * kernel: drm/xe: Make dma-fences compliant with the safe access rules (CVE-2025-38703) * kernel: Linux kernel: Denial of Service via out-of-bounds read in USB configuration parsing (CVE-2025-39760) * kernel: HID: intel-thc-hid: intel-thc: Fix incorrect pointer arithmetic in I2C regs save (CVE-2025-39818) * kernel: Kernel: Use-after-free in GPIO character device allows privilege escalation or denial of service (CVE-2025-40249) * kernel: ipv6: BUG() in pskb_expand_head() as part of calipso_skbuff_setattr() (CVE-2025-71085) * kernel: macvlan: fix possible UAF in macvlan_forward_source() (CVE-2026-23001) * kernel: Linux kernel: Denial of Service due to a deadlock in hugetlb folio migration (CVE-2026-23097) * kernel: Linux kernel: Information disclosure in efivarfs via incorrect error propagation (CVE-2026-23156) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
