In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: cs42l43: Property entry should be a null-terminated array
The software node does not specify a count of property entries, so the
array must be null-terminated.
When unterminated, this can lead to a fault in the downstream cs35l56
amplifier driver, because the node parse walks off the end of the
array into unknown memory.

It was discovered that improper initialization of CPU cache memory could
allow a local attacker with hypervisor access to overwrite SEV-SNP guest
memory resulting in loss of data integrity. (CVE-2024-36331)
Jean-Claude Graf, Sandro Rüegge, Ali Hajiabadi, and Kaveh Razavi discovered
that the Linux kernel contained insufficient branch predictor isolation
between a guest and a userspace hypervisor for certain processors. This
flaw is known as VMSCAPE. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this
to expose sensitive information from the host OS. (CVE-2025-40300)
