In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

block: add check that partition length needs to be aligned with block size

Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check
on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size.
If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes,
then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size,
and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size,
resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than
the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also
result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free. (CVE-2023-52458)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

x86/srso: Add SRSO mitigation for Hygon processors (CVE-2023-52482)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: disallow timeout for anonymous sets (CVE-2023-52620)

create_empty_lvol in drivers/mtd/ubi/vtbl.c in the Linux kernel through 6.7.4 can attempt to allocate zero bytes, and crash, because of a missing check for ubi->leb_size. (CVE-2024-25739)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: disallow anonymous set with timeout flag (CVE-2024-26642)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: mark set as dead when unbinding anonymous set with timeout (CVE-2024-26643)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path

The commit mutex should not be released during the critical section
between nft_gc_seq_begin() and nft_gc_seq_end(), otherwise, async GC
worker could collect expired objects and get the released commit lock
within the same GC sequence.

nf_tables_module_autoload() temporarily releases the mutex to load
module dependencies, then it goes back to replay the transaction again.
Move it at the end of the abort phase after nft_gc_seq_end() is called. (CVE-2024-26925)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI/PM: Drain runtime-idle callbacks before driver removal (CVE-2024-35809)

Issue Correction:
Run yum update kernel to update your system.
