Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - Nios II architecture; - Sun Sparc architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Drivers core; - Bus devices; - Hardware random number generator core; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - DMA engine subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HW tracing; - Input Device (Miscellaneous) drivers; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) drivers; - MTD block device drivers; - Network drivers; - NVME drivers; - PCI subsystem; - Performance monitor drivers; - Pin controllers subsystem; - x86 platform drivers; - PPS (Pulse Per Second) driver; - PWM drivers; - SCSI subsystem; - TCM subsystem; - Userspace I/O drivers; - USB Gadget drivers; - USB Host Controller drivers; - Framebuffer layer; - BTRFS file system; - File systems infrastructure; - Ext4 file system; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - NTFS3 file system; - SMB network file system; - padata parallel execution mechanism; - IP tunnels definitions; - Network sockets; - XFRM subsystem; - Control group (cgroup); - Padata parallel execution mechanism; - PID allocator; - Tracing infrastructure; - Memory management; - 9P file system network protocol; - Ethernet bridge; - Ceph Core library; - Networking core; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - NFC subsystem; - RF switch subsystem; - SCTP protocol; - Unix domain sockets; - VMware vSockets driver; - Intel ASoC drivers; - USB sound devices; (CVE-2024-53114, CVE-2024-56538, CVE-2024-58011, CVE-2025-21861, CVE-2025-22058, CVE-2025-23143, CVE-2025-38236, CVE-2025-38248, CVE-2025-38584, CVE-2025-39869, CVE-2025-39873, CVE-2025-39876, CVE-2025-39880, CVE-2025-39883, CVE-2025-39885, CVE-2025-39907, CVE-2025-39911, CVE-2025-39913, CVE-2025-39923, CVE-2025-39934, CVE-2025-39937, CVE-2025-39943, CVE-2025-39945, CVE-2025-39949, CVE-2025-39951, CVE-2025-39953, CVE-2025-39955, CVE-2025-39967, CVE-2025-39968, CVE-2025-39969, CVE-2025-39970, CVE-2025-39971, CVE-2025-39972, CVE-2025-39973, CVE-2025-39980, CVE-2025-39985, CVE-2025-39986, CVE-2025-39987, CVE-2025-39988, CVE-2025-39994, CVE-2025-39995, CVE-2025-39996, CVE-2025-39998, CVE-2025-40001, CVE-2025-40006, CVE-2025-40011, CVE-2025-40020, CVE-2025-40021, CVE-2025-40026, CVE-2025-40027, CVE-2025-40029, CVE-2025-40030, CVE-2025-40035, CVE-2025-40042, CVE-2025-40043, CVE-2025-40044, CVE-2025-40048, CVE-2025-40049, CVE-2025-40053, CVE-2025-40055, CVE-2025-40060, CVE-2025-40068, CVE-2025-40070, CVE-2025-40078, CVE-2025-40081, CVE-2025-40085, CVE-2025-40087, CVE-2025-40088, CVE-2025-40092, CVE-2025-40094, CVE-2025-40105, CVE-2025-40106, CVE-2025-40109, CVE-2025-40111, CVE-2025-40112, CVE-2025-40115, CVE-2025-40116, CVE-2025-40118, CVE-2025-40120, CVE-2025-40121, CVE-2025-40124, CVE-2025-40125, CVE-2025-40126, CVE-2025-40127, CVE-2025-40134, CVE-2025-40140, CVE-2025-40153, CVE-2025-40154, CVE-2025-40167, CVE-2025-40171, CVE-2025-40173, CVE-2025-40178, CVE-2025-40179, CVE-2025-40183, CVE-2025-40187, CVE-2025-40188, CVE-2025-40194, CVE-2025-40200, CVE-2025-40204, CVE-2025-40205, CVE-2025-40215, CVE-2025-40219, CVE-2025-40220, CVE-2025-40223, CVE-2025-40231, CVE-2025-40233, CVE-2025-40240, CVE-2025-40243, CVE-2025-40244, CVE-2025-40245, CVE-2025-40346, CVE-2025-40349, CVE-2025-40351, CVE-2025-68249)

About

Kenya Education Network CERT(KENET-CERT) is a Cybersecurity Emergency Response Team and Co-ordination Center operated by the National Research and Education Network of Kenya. KENET-CERT coordination center promotes awareness on cybersecurity incidences as well as coordinates and assists member institutions in responding effectively to cyber security threats and incidences. KENET-CERT works closely with Kenya's National CIRT coordination center (CIRT/CC) as a sector CIRT for the academic institutions. KENET promotes use of ICT in Teaching, Learning and Research in Higher Education Institutions in Kenya. KENET aims to interconnect all the Universities, Tertiary and Research Institutions in Kenya by setting up a cost effective and sustainable private network with high speed access to the global Internet. KENET also facilitates electronic communication among students and faculties in member institutions, share learning and teaching resources by collaboration in Research and Development of Educational content.
