The kernel update in question was released as part of a RHEL point release (9.3 or 9.4, I forget which).

I’m not sure how much early warning RH gives to folks when a kernel change comes in via a point release. Looking at https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/upcoming-improvements-red-hat..., it seems like it’s changing for 9.5. I hope CrowdStrike will be able to start testing against those beta kernels.

It was 9.4. I don’t think any amount of heads up will make a difference considering it took them like 3+ years to notice that E4S streams were a thing. Most of these security vendors tend to treat Linux as the red headed step child and do the least.. With that said, after the recent event it would seem that CrowdStrike treats all OSes as red headed step children lol
