Linux kernel (Real-time) vulnerabilities

Summary

Josh Eads, Kristoffer Janke, Eduardo Vela Nava, Tavis Ormandy, and Matteo Rizzo discovered that some AMD Zen processors did not properly verify the signature of CPU microcode. This flaw is known as EntrySign. A privileged attacker could possibly use this issue to cause load malicious CPU microcode causing loss of integrity and confidentiality. (CVE-2024-36347) 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: - MIPS architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - ACPI drivers; - Network block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Character device driver; - TPM device driver; - Clock framework and drivers; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - GPU drivers; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - IRQ chip drivers; - Macintosh device drivers; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - STMicroelectronics network drivers; - Ethernet team driver; - MediaTek network drivers; - NVME drivers; - PA-RISC drivers; - Chrome hardware platform drivers; - x86 platform drivers; - Voltage and Current Regulator drivers; - SCSI subsystem; - SPI subsystem; - Media Affected Ubuntu releases: 24.04, 22.04. CVEs: CVE-2025-71132, CVE-2026-23209, CVE-2025-71118, CVE-2025-68820, CVE-2025-22022, CVE-2025-68261, CVE-2025-68788, CVE-2025-71144….
