Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 7.1.3, 6.18.38, 6.12.95, 6.6.144, 6.1.177, 5.15.211, and 5.10.260 stable kernels. Several kernels in this batch include a fix for a vulnerability introduced in the 6.0 kernel in IPv6 (CVE-2026-53362), which could allow an attacker to escape a container and gain root access.

There is also a fix for a use-after-free bug in KVM (CVE-2026-53359) that was introduced in the 2.6.36 kernel. As usual, each stable kernel includes a number of fixes throughout the tree. Users are advised to upgrade.
