RHSA-2026:49030 - Moderate: kernel security update
Synopsis
Moderate: kernel security update
Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Moderate
Topic
An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. 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 packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
Security Fix(es):
-
kernel: KVM: x86: Don't (re)check L1 intercepts when completing userspace I/O (CVE-2025-40026)
-
kernel: KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure hugepage is in by slot before checking max mapping level (CVE-2026-63807)
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.
