In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: save the SR_SUM status over switches
When threads/tasks are switched we need to ensure the old execution's
SR_SUM state is saved and the new thread has the old SR_SUM state
restored.
The issue was seen under heavy load especially with the syz-stress tool
running, with crashes as follows in schedule_tail:
Unable to handle kernel access to user memory without uaccess routines

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.
