DEBIAN-CVE-2025-38675

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: state: initialize stateptrs earlier in xfrmstatefind In case of preemption, xfrmstatelookat will find a different pcpuid and look up states for that other CPU. If we matched a state for CPU2 in the statecache while the look...
