In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: firewire-motu: fix buffer overflow in hwdep read for DSP events
The DSP event handling code in hwdep_read() could write more bytes to
the user buffer than requested, when a user provides a buffer smaller
than the event header size (8 bytes).
Fix by using min_t() to clamp the copy size, This ensures we never copy
more than the user requested.

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)
It was discovered that some AMD Zen 5 processors supporting RDSEED
instruction did not properly handle entropy, potentially resulting in the
consumption of insufficiently random values. A local attacker could
possibly use this issue to influence the values returned by the RDSEED
instruction causing loss of confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2025-62626)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: firewire-motu: fix buffer overflow in hwdep read for DSP events
The DSP event handling code in hwdep_read() could write more bytes to
the user buffer than requested, when a user provides a buffer smaller
than the event header size (8 bytes).
Fix by using min_t() to clamp the copy size, This ensures we never copy
more than the user requested.
