Release kernel-5.14.0-687.56.1.el9_8 ALSA-2026:77689

This is an advisory announcement for a kernel package release, not a bounded code change, and the payload names no source files, tests or entry points. It lists CVE fixes and Jira-tracked bugs with affected package builds, and a newcomer cannot tell from it what to change or when the work is done. Read the linked CVE pages and the AlmaLinux updates repository for the packaging process before picking up any of the listed items.

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

Security Fix(es):

• kernel: ipvlan: Make the addrs_lock be per port (CVE-2026-23103)
• kernel: KVM: SEV: Require in-GHCB scratch area if GHCB v2+ is in use (CVE-2026-53360)
• kernel: vsock/virtio: fix zerocopy completion for multi-skb sends (CVE-2026-53365)
• kernel: NFSD: Fix SECINFO_NO_NAME decode error cleanup (CVE-2026-53398)
• kernel: vsock/virtio: bind uarg before filling zerocopy skb (CVE-2026-63970)
• kernel: igc: set tx buffer type for SMD frames (CVE-2026-64035)
• kernel: idpf: fix read_dev_clk_lock spinlock init in idpf_ptp_init() (CVE-2026-64162)
• kernel: vsock/vmci: fix UAF when peer resets connection during handshake (CVE-2026-64115)
• kernel: SUNRPC: pin upper rpc_clnt across the TLS connect_worker (CVE-2026-72317)
• kernel: ipvlan: inherit needed_headroom and needed_tailroom from phy_dev (CVE-2026-74744)
• kernel: nfsd: defer vfree of compound ops to fix rpc_status UAF (CVE-2026-89690)
• kernel: nfsd: initialize copy-notify stateid before publishing it (CVE-2026-89669)
• kernel: svcrdma: Reject inline replies that overflow the pull-up buffer (CVE-2026-89530)
• kernel: nfsd: revoke copy-notify stateids before dropping their reference (CVE-2026-89663)

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

• "iavf: refactor iavf_clean_rx_irq to support legacy and flex descriptors" broke rx-vlan-offload on almalinux-9.7 [almalinux-9.8.z] (JIRA:AlmaLinux-169480)
• [GNR-D] missing interfaces tspll_cfg (JIRA:AlmaLinux-183201)
• AlmaLinux9.8z KVM guest panicked in vmmouse driver (JIRA:AlmaLinux-186577)
• Add Epson RX8111 support to AlmaLinux9.9 [almalinux-9.8.z] (JIRA:AlmaLinux-212014)
• RT scheduler livelock: migrate-disabled task at pushable-list head causes repeated RT push/stopper retries, starving a critical RT task (remaining issue after CVE-2026-45919 fix in 94894c9c477e) [almalinux-9.8.z] (JIRA:AlmaLinux-256279)
