Research direction

This is a kernel security update release issue, not a development task. It lists multiple CVEs affecting various kernel subsystems (drm/amdgpu, netfilter, PPPoE, IPVS, nvme-tcp). The work involves integrating upstream security patches, building, and testing across multiple architectures (x86_64, s390x, ppc64le, aarch64). A newcomer would need deep kernel development, build system, and security patch integration knowledge. The 'done' state is a set of released packages.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

kernel security update
Severity: Important
Description
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

Security Fix(es):

kernel: netfilter: nf_queue: hold bridge skb->dev while queued (CVE-2026-52912)
kernel: Linux kernel: PPPoE memory corruption via stale pointer (CVE-2026-68121)
kernel: Linux kernel IPVS: Denial of Service due to stale memory references (CVE-2026-80714)
kernel: nvme-tcp: reject a read that transferred too few bytes (CVE-2026-89480)
