    It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when printing
    xattr debug information. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

    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:

    - GPU drivers;

    - Greybus drivers;

    - Modular ISDN driver;

    - Multiple devices driver;

    - Network drivers;

    - SCSI drivers;

    - VFIO drivers;

    - F2FS file system;

    - GFS2 file system;

    - JFS file system;

    - NILFS2 file system;

    - Kernel debugger infrastructure;

    - Bluetooth subsystem;

    - IPv4 networking;

    - L2TP protocol;

    - Netfilter;

    - RxRPC session sockets; (CVE-2024-42154, CVE-2023-52527, CVE-2024-26733, CVE-2024-42160, CVE-2021-47188,
