In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Mark invalid entities with id UVC_INVALID_ENTITY_ID
Per UVC 1.1+ specification 3.7.2, units and terminals must have a non-zero
unique ID.
```
Each Unit and Terminal within the video function is assigned a unique
identification number, the Unit ID (UID) or Terminal ID (TID), contained in
the bUnitID or bTerminalID field of the descriptor. The value 0x00 is
reserved for undefined ID,
```
If we add a new entity with id 0 or a duplicated ID, it will be marked
as UVC_INVALID_ENTITY_ID.
In a previous attempt commit 3dd075fe8ebb ("media: uvcvideo: Require
entities to have a non-zero unique ID"), we ignored all the invalid units,
this broke a lot of non-compatible cameras. Hopefully we are more lucky
this time.
This also prevents some syzkaller reproducers from triggering warnings due
to a chain of entities referring to themselves. In one particular case, an
Output Unit is connected to an Input Unit, both with the same ID of 1. But
when looking up for the source ID of the Output Unit, that same entity is
found instead of the input entity, which leads to such warnings.
In another case, a backward chain was considered finished as the source ID
was 0. Later on, that entity was found, but its pads were not valid.
Here is a sample stack trace for one of those cases.

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.

linux-aws-6.8 vulnerabilities
Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor
Linux kernel Security Module (LSM). An unprivileged local attacker could
use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor profiles
causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel
memory), local privilege escalation, or possibly escape a container.
(LP: #2143853)
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:
- ARM64 architecture;
- MIPS architecture;
- Nios II architecture;
- PA-RISC architecture;
- RISC-V architecture;
- S390 architecture;
- Sun Sparc architecture;
- User-Mode Linux (UML);

CVE-2025-40016 GHSA-6jvm-59q4-2x6g: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Mark invalid entities with id UVC_INVALID_ENTITY_ID
Per UVC 1
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Mark invalid entities with id UVC_INVALID_ENTITY_ID
Per UVC 1.1+ specification 3.7.2, units and terminals must have a non-zero
unique ID.
```
Each Unit and Terminal within the video function is assigned a unique
identification number, the Unit ID (UID) or Terminal ID (TID), contained in
the bUnitID or bTerminalID field of the descriptor. The value 0x00 is
reserved for undefined ID,
```
If we add a new entity with id 0 or a duplicated ID, it will be marked
as UVC_INVALID_ENTITY_ID.
In a previous attempt commit 3dd075fe8ebb ("media: uvcvideo: Require
entities to have a non-zero unique ID"), we ignored all the invalid units,
this broke a lot of non-compatible cameras. Hopefully we are more lucky
