Title: Linux kernel (Raspberry Pi) vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
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;
- Cryptographic API;
- GPU drivers;
- I2C subsystem;
- Network traffic control;
(CVE-2022-49046, CVE-2024-46816, CVE-2025-37849, CVE-2026-23060,
CVE-2026-23074)
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
