USN-7331-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-0927) 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: - ARM64 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - ACPI drivers; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - I2C subsystem; - IIO ADC drivers; - IIO subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - IRQ chip drivers; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - STMicroelectronics network drivers; - Parport drivers; - Pin controllers subsystem; - Direct Digital Synthesis drivers; - TCM subsystem; - TTY drivers; - USB Dual Role (OTG-ready) Controller drivers; - USB Serial drivers; - USB Type-C support driver; - USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface driver; - BTRFS file system; - File systems infrastructure; - Network file system (NFS) client; - NILFS2 file system; - NTFS3 file system; - SMB network file system; - User-space API (UAPI); - io_uring subsystem; - BPF subsystem; - Timer substystem drivers; - Tracing infrastructure; - Closures library; - Memory management; - Amateur Radio drivers; - Bluetooth subsystem; - Networking core; - IPv4 networking; - MAC80211 subsystem; - Multipath TCP; - Netfilter; - Network traffic control; - SCTP protocol; - XFRM subsystem; - Key management; - FireWire sound drivers; - HD-audio driver; - QCOM ASoC drivers; - STMicroelectronics SoC drivers; - KVM core; (CVE-2024-50163, CVE-2024-53104, CVE-2024-50287, CVE-2024-41066, CVE-2024-53066, CVE-2024-53097, CVE-2024-50229, CVE-2024-50142, CVE-2024-50182, CVE-2024-50156, CVE-2024-50195, CVE-2024-50232, CVE-2024-53063, CVE-2024-50134, CVE-2024-50103, CVE-2024-50110, CVE-2024-50115, CVE-2024-50233, CVE-2024-50202, CVE-2024-50268, CVE-2024-50171, CVE-2024-50234, CVE-2024-50083, CVE-2024-53061, CVE-2024-50194, CVE-2024-40953, CVE-2024-50143, CVE-2024-50278, CVE-2024-50257, CVE-2024-56672, CVE-2024-50141, CVE-2024-50128, CVE-2024-50117, CVE-2024-50292, CVE-2024-50148, CVE-2024-53055, CVE-2024-35887, CVE-2024-50236, CVE-2024-50249, CVE-2024-50282, CVE-2024-50218, CVE-2023-52913, CVE-2024-50262, CVE-2024-50269, CVE-2024-50010, CVE-2024-50299, CVE-2024-39497, CVE-2024-50296, CVE-2024-53052, CVE-2024-53058, CVE-2024-50201, CVE-2024-42291, CVE-2024-50036, CVE-2024-50154, CVE-2024-50196, CVE-2024-50251, CVE-2024-41080, CVE-2024-50074, CVE-2024-50205, CVE-2024-50131, CVE-2024-42252, CVE-2024-50082, CVE-2024-50273, CVE-2024-50072, CVE-2024-50301, CVE-2024-53088, CVE-2024-50058, CVE-2024-50085, CVE-2024-50167, CVE-2024-50150, CVE-2024-50185, CVE-2024-50208, CVE-2024-50151, CVE-2024-50086, CVE-2024-50127, CVE-2024-50153, CVE-2024-53042, CVE-2024-50162, CVE-2024-50237, CVE-2024-50290, CVE-2024-40965, CVE-2024-50193, CVE-2024-50245, CVE-2024-53059, CVE-2024-53101, CVE-2024-50295, CVE-2024-50259, CVE-2024-50192, CVE-2024-50265, CVE-2024-50279, CVE-2024-50116, CVE-2024-26718, CVE-2024-50101, CVE-2024-50168, CVE-2024-50267, CVE-2024-50198, CVE-2024-50230, CVE-2024-50199, CVE-2024-50099, CVE-2024-50247, CVE-2024-50302, CVE-2024-50160, CVE-2024-50209, CVE-2024-50244)

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.
