In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: core: Fix possible NULL dereference caused by kunit_kzalloc()
kunit_kzalloc() may return a NULL pointer, dereferencing it without
NULL check may lead to NULL dereference.
Add NULL checks for all the kunit_kzalloc() in sound_kunit.c

CVE-2024-47738 Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the
Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use
a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a
denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2025-0927)
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:
- ARM32 architecture;
- ARM64 architecture;
- PowerPC architecture;
- RISC-V architecture;
- S390 architecture;
