AI-suggested
A security update is available from Red Hat for affected kernel packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related variants. Systems should apply the update as described in the Red Hat advisory (RHSA-2024:3619) and reboot to ensure the fixes take effect. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official patch.
Description
A security update for the Linux kernel addresses two vulnerabilities: a possible use-after-free and null pointer dereference in the IPv6 Segment Routing (SR) implementation (CVE-2024-26735), and a reference leak in the sysfs subsystem (CVE-2024-26993). These issues affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related distributions. The update is rated as moderate severity and requires a system reboot to apply. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
