My CentOS Stream 8 machines have:

   kernel-4.18.0-408.el8.x86_64

as the most recent kernel package.

(Top of the changelog:

* Wed Jul 06 2022 Jarod Wilson <jarod at redhat.com> [4.18.0-408.el8]
- powerpc/smp: Set numa node before updating mask (Diego Domingos) [2103833]
- iommu/vt-d: Fix potential memory leak in intel_setup_irq_remapping()

- x86/pci: Create PCI/MSI irqdomain after x86_init.pci.arch_init()

)

But, being released in July, it's
a bit old and surely missing some
fixes and security patches.

I was wondering if that is the last
released kernel package, or if there's
something wrong with my machines.

I could not find a more recent kernel
package, but maybe I'm not looking in
the right places. I tried:

  https://composes.centos.org/
  https://git.centos.org/rpms/kernel/commits/c8s
  https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/kernel/-/tree/c8s
  https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=866

For comparison, my AlmaLinux 8 machines
have:

   kernel-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8

(Top of the changelog:

* Fri Sep 30 2022 Jarod Wilson <jarod at redhat.com> [4.18.0-425.3.1.el8]

(<C3><8D><C3><B1>igo Huguet) [2129297]

(<C3><8D><C3><B1>igo Huguet) [2119638]

Westphal) [2047366]
)
