Synopsis
Important: kernel-rt security update
Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Important
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An update for kernel-rt is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Description
The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.
Security Fix(es):
- kernel: rtnetlink: add missing netlink_ns_capable() check for peer netns (CVE-2026-31692)
- kernel: netfilter: ctnetlink: ensure safe access to master conntrack (CVE-2026-43116)
- kernel: fanotify: fix false positive on permission events (CVE-2026-46150)
- kernel: net: sched: UAF via missing handler for TC_ACT_CONSUMED in tcf_qevent_handle ()
- kernel: net/sched: cls_api: Handle TC_ACT_CONSUMED in tcf_qevent_handle (CVE-2026-64530)
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.
Solution
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
Red Hat recommends treating all kernel errata as security-relevant. Given the kernel's fundamental role, any bug has a higher chance of impacting system security, even if that impact only becomes clear after a fix is published. Therefore, Red Hat prioritizes delivering fixes that improve our customers' overall security posture.
Because of this proactive approach, a patch may be associated with a CVE assignment at a future date. Retroactive CVE assignments are always documented in the corresponding errata and on Red Hat's CVE pages. We strongly advise against delaying updates, as doing so may leave your system exposed when protections are already available.
