Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: kernel (CVE-2025-22102)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 295667

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-22102 advisory.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Fix kernel panic during FW release This fixes a kernel panic seen during release FW in a stress test scenario where WLAN and BT FW download occurs simultaneously, and due to a HW bug, chip sends out only 1 bootloader signatures. When driver receives the bootloader signature, it enters FW download mode, but since no consequtive bootloader signatures seen, FW file is not requested. After 60 seconds, when FW download times out, release_firmware causes a kernel panic.
