In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/a6xx: move preempt_prepare_postamble after error check Move the call to preempt_prepare_postamble() after verifying that preempt_postamble_ptr is valid. If preempt_postamble_ptr is NULL, dereferencing it in preempt_prepare_postamble() would lead to a crash. This change avoids calling the preparation function when the postamble allocation has failed, preventing potential NULL pointer dereference and ensuring proper error handling. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/687659/

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / 25.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8183-1 advisory.

    Josh Eads, Kristoffer Janke, Eduardo Vela Nava, Tavis Ormandy, and Matteo Rizzo discovered that some AMD     Zen processors did not properly verify the signature of CPU microcode. This flaw is known as EntrySign. A     privileged attacker could possibly use this issue to cause load malicious CPU microcode causing loss of     integrity and confidentiality. (CVE-2024-36347)
