Published Apr 1, 2025
·
Updated

Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that the Bluetooth driver in the Linux Kernel contained an improper access control vulnerability. A nearby attacker could use this to connect a rougue device and possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-8805)

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: - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - ACPI drivers; - Drivers core; - ATA over ethernet (AOE) driver; - Network block device driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - TPM device driver; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware
