    extremely high determinism requirements.

    Security Fix(es):

    * kernel: net/sched: Always pass notifications when child class becomes empty (CVE-2025-38350)

    * kernel: idpf: convert control queue mutex to a spinlock (CVE-2025-38392)

    * kernel: drm/gem: Acquire references on GEM handles for framebuffers (CVE-2025-38449)

    other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
