CVE-2024-53181 — um: vector: Do not use drvdata in release

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

um: vector: Do not use drvdata in release

The drvdata is not available in release. Let's just use container_of() to get the vector_device instance. Otherwise, removing a vector device will result in a crash:

USN-7276-1 — linux, linux-lowlatency vulnerabilities

Affected: Ubuntu:24.10: linux, Ubuntu:24.10: linux-lowlatency

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-0927)

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: - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - SuperH RISC architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - ACPI drivers; - Drivers core; - ATA over ethernet (AOE) driver; - RAM backed block device driver; - Network block device driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - TPM device driver; - Clock framework and drivers; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - CXL (Compute Express Link) drivers; - DAX dirext access to differentiated memory framework; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - EDAC drivers; - FireWire subsystem; - ARM SCMI message protocol; - ARM SCPI message protocol; - EFI core; - Qualcomm firmware drivers; - GPIO subsystem;…
