Kernel updates for AlmaLinux

AlmaLinux 2566 Published 2026-04-22 07:37 by Philipp Esselbach 0

AlmaLinux released an important security patch for both the standard and real-time kernel packages on version 8. The update resolves two specific flaws identified as CVE-2025-68741 and CVE-2026-23191, which involve improper memory handling in storage drivers and race conditions within audio subsystem triggers. System administrators should apply these fixes promptly to prevent potential stability issues or unauthorized access on affected machines. Detailed documentation and download links are available through the official AlmaLinux errata portal for anyone needing further technical guidance.

ELevate NG upgrade to AlmaLinux 10 x86_64_v2 released for testing

AlmaLinux 2566 Published 2026-04-21 08:16 by Philipp Esselbach 0

ELevate NG finally lets system administrators push AlmaLinux 9 into the new x86_64_v2-based AlmaLinux 10 or Kitten release, but the upgrade swaps old patching methods for a fresh rootfs image download. The migration tool requires pulling the testing repository config and installing specific leapp packages before it can even map out what needs replacing. Preupgrade scans routinely flag missing dependencies and force manual answers to configuration prompts, so skipping that step guarantees a broken boot sequence. Once the system restarts into the transitional environment, verifying package versions and deleting the temporary bootstrap files keeps the new architecture from quietly breaking custom services later.
