Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: fs/ntfs3: Fixed overflow check in mi_enum_attr().
(CVE-2024-27407)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put() syzbot
reported that nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put() was possibly sending garbage on
the four reserved tcp bits (th->res1) Use skb_put_zero() to clear the whole
TCP header, as done in nf_reject_ip_tcphdr_put() BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value
in nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put+0x688/0x6c0
net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv6.c:255

net/netfilter/nft_reject_inet.c:48 expr_call_ops_eval
net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c:240 . (CVE-2024-47685)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: smb: client: fix UAF in async decryption Doing an async
decryption (large read) crashes with a slab-use-after-free way down in the
crypto API. (CVE-2024-50047)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: ovl: fix UAF in ovl_dentry_update_reval by moving dput() in
ovl_link_up The issue was caused by dput(upper) being called before
ovl_dentry_update_reval(), while upper->d_flags was still accessed in
ovl_dentry_remote(). (CVE-2025-21887)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: RDMA/erdma: Prevent use-after-free in erdma_accept_newconn()
After the erdma_cep_put(new_cep) being called, new_cep will be freed, and
the following dereference will cause a UAF problem. (CVE-2025-22088)

Support Information
Livepatches for supported LTS kernels will receive upgrades for
a period of up to 13 months after the build date of the kernel.
Livepatches for supported HWE kernels which are not based on
an LTS kernel version will receive upgrades for a period of
up to 9 months after the build date of the kernel, or until the end
of support for that kernel’s non-LTS distro release version,
whichever is sooner.
