Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Xuewei Feng, Chuanpu Fu, Qi Li, Kun Sun, and Ke Xu discovered that the TCP
implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle IPID assignment.
A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (connection
termination) or inject forged data. (CVE-2020-36516)

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more info
