In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: qcom: uefisecapp: fix efivars registration race Since the conversion to using the TZ allocator, the efivars service is registered before the memory pool has been allocated, something which can lead to a NULL-pointer dereference in case of a racing EFI variable access. Make sure that all resources have been set up before registering the efivars.

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7606-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     verify the target namespace when handling upcalls. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2025-2312)

    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:
