In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: max310x: fix NULL pointer dereference in I2C instantiation
When trying to instantiate a max14830 device from userspace:
echo max14830 0x60 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-2/new_device
we get the following error:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address...
...
Call trace:

...
Add check for validity of devtype to prevent the error, and abort probe
with a meaningful error message.

Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not
properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38096)
Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux
kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use-
after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could possibly
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-47233)

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.
