    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:

    - Bluetooth drivers;

    - GPU drivers;

    - Hardware monitoring drivers;

    - SPI subsystem;

    - NTFS3 file system;

    - io_uring subsystem;
