    Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition
    during device removal, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could
    possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-47233)

    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:

    - Block layer subsystem;

    - Userspace I/O drivers;

    - Ceph distributed file system;

    - Ext4 file system;

    - JFS file system;

    - NILFS2 file system;

    - Bluetooth subsystem;

    - Networking core;

    - IPv4 networking;

    - IPv6 networking;

    - Logical Link layer;

    - MAC80211 subsystem;

    - Netlink;

    - NFC subsystem;

    - Tomoyo security module; (CVE-2023-52524, CVE-2023-52530, CVE-2023-52601, CVE-2023-52439, CVE-2024-26635,
