In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: ad1816a: Fix potential NULL pointer deref in snd_card_ad1816a_pnp() Use pr_warn() instead of dev_warn() when 'pdev' is NULL to avoid a potential NULL pointer dereference.

debian_linux dsa-5975: Debian dsa-5975 : ata-modules-6.12.38+deb13-armmp-di - security update

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 25.04 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7879-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that improper initialization of CPU cache memory could allow a local attacker with     hypervisor access to overwrite SEV-SNP guest memory resulting in loss of data integrity. (CVE-2024-36331)
