In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mshv: Fix create memory region overlap check
The current check is incorrect; it only checks if the beginning or end
of a region is within an existing region. This doesn't account for
userspace specifying a region that begins before and ends after an
existing region.
Change the logic to a range intersection check against gfns and uaddrs
for each region.
Remove mshv_partition_region_by_uaddr() as it is no longer used.

Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
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)
