Another batch of single-fix stable kernels
WHY IT MATTERS
These minimal releases target specific issues rather than bundling numerous changes, so teams can apply narrowly-scoped patches with lower integration risk. The second batch's fix for CVE-2026-64560, a use-after-free vulnerability, carries security implications that may warrant prioritized upgrades across affected kernel versions.
