"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2026:89082 advisory.

    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: tcp: restrict SO_ATTACH_FILTER to priv users (CVE-2026-53236)

    * kernel: fuse: re-lock request before replacing page cache folio (CVE-2026-53388)

    * kernel: writeback: fix race between cgroup_writeback_umount() and inode_switch_wbs() (CVE-2026-64378)

    * kernel: net: gro: fix double aggregation of flush-marked skbs (CVE-2026-68136)

    * kernel: net/packet: avoid fanout hook re-registration after unregister (CVE-2026-68338)

    * kernel: net/iucv: fix use-after-free of a severed iucv_path (CVE-2026-68140)

    * kernel: net/sched: serialize qdisc_rtab_list against concurrent get/put (CVE-2026-68138)

    * kernel: ipvs: reload ip header after head reallocation (CVE-2026-68476)

    * kernel: selinux: avoid sk_socket dereference in selinux_sctp_bind_connect() (CVE-2026-72242)

    * kernel: mptcp: options: reset DSS fields in case of unexpected size (CVE-2026-80586)

    * kernel: usb: usbfs: fix use-after-free of usb_device in usbdev_release() (CVE-2026-80824)

    * kernel: smb: client: clear setuid/setgid bit on write with cifsacl/modefromsid/posix extensions
    (CVE-2026-89638)

    * kernel: net/iucv: filter frames in afiucv_hs_rcv() by ingress device (CVE-2026-81003)

    * kernel: ipv4: validate checksum_start before completing checksum (CVE-2026-99999)

    Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

    * Backport 6785011f8b16 (ipv4: validate checksum_start before completing checksum) [rhel-8.10.z]
    (JIRA:RHEL-280584)
