In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: set UXN on swapper page tables
[ This issue was fixed upstream by accident in c3cee924bd85 ("arm64:
head: cover entire kernel image in initial ID map") as part of a
large refactoring of the arm64 boot flow. This simple fix is therefore
preferred for -stable backporting ]
On a system that implements FEAT_EPAN, read/write access to the idmap
is denied because UXN is not set on the swapper PTEs. As a result,
idmap_kpti_install_ng_mappings panics the kernel when accessing
__idmap_kpti_flag. Fix it by setting UXN on these PTEs.

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 information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
