This USN-8180-1 advisory addresses multiple distinct vulnerabilities across numerous Linux kernel subsystems, including architecture-specific code, drivers, filesystems, and networking components, which could be exploited to compromise the system. The provided NVD data details three specific CVEs (CVE-2023-53421, CVE-2023-53520, and CVE-2023-53662), all rated MEDIUM with CVSS scores of 5.5 or 4.7, affecting kernel versions from 5.5 through 6.5.4. Patches are available in specific fixed versions, such as upgrading to kernel 6.3.13, 6.4.4, 6.1.55, or 6.5.5, depending on the CVE and the kernel series in use.
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; - Block layer subsystem; - Drivers core; - Bluetooth drivers; - DMA engine subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Intel Trace Hub HW tracing drivers; - IIO ADC drivers; - IRQ chip drivers; - Modular ISDN driver; - LED subsystem; - UACCE accelerator framework; - Ethernet bonding driver; - Network drivers; - STMicroelectronics network drivers; - Ethernet team driver; - NVME drivers; - PHY drivers; - SLIMbus drivers; - W1 Dallas's 1-wire bus driver; - Xen hypervisor drivers; - BTRFS file system; - Ext4 file system; - Network file system (NFS) client; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - NTFS3 file system; - SMB network file system; - NFC subsystem; - BPF subsystem; - IRQ subsystem; - Memory management; - Bluetooth subsystem; - CAN network layer; - Networking core; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - L2TP protocol; - NET/ROM layer; - Network traffic control; - SCTP protocol; - TLS protocol; - XFRM subsystem; - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi driver; - USB sound devices; (CVE-2023-53421, CVE-2023-53520, CVE-2023-53662, CVE-2023-54207, CVE-2025-38057, CVE-2025-38125, CVE-2025-38232, CVE-2025-38408, CVE-2025-38591, CVE-2025-40149, CVE-2025-40164, CVE-2025-68211, CVE-2025-68340, CVE-2025-68365, CVE-2025-68725, CVE-2025-68817, CVE-2025-71162, CVE-2025-71163, CVE-2025-71185, CVE-2025-71186, CVE-2025-71188, CVE-2025-71190, CVE-2025-71191, CVE-2025-71194, CVE-2025-71196, CVE-2025-71197, CVE-2025-71199, CVE-2026-22997, CVE-2026-22998, CVE-2026-22999, CVE-2026-23001, CVE-2026-23003, CVE-2026-23011, CVE-2026-23026, CVE-2026-23033, CVE-2026-23037, CVE-2026-23038, CVE-2026-23049, CVE-2026-23056, CVE-2026-23058, CVE-2026-23061, CVE-2026-23063, CVE-2026-23064, CVE-2026-23071, CVE-2026-23073, CVE-2026-23075, CVE-2026-23076, CVE-2026-23078, CVE-2026-23080, CVE-2026-23083, CVE-2026-23084, CVE-2026-23085, CVE-2026-23087, CVE-2026-23089, CVE-2026-23090, CVE-2026-23091, CVE-2026-23093, CVE-2026-23095, CVE-2026-23096, CVE-2026-23097, CVE-2026-23098, CVE-2026-23099, CVE-2026-23101, CVE-2026-23103, CVE-2026-23105, CVE-2026-23108, CVE-2026-23119, CVE-2026-23120, CVE-2026-23121, CVE-2026-23124, CVE-2026-23125, CVE-2026-23128, CVE-2026-23133, CVE-2026-23145, CVE-2026-23146, CVE-2026-23150, CVE-2026-23164, CVE-2026-23167, CVE-2026-23170, CVE-2026-23209)
