18) Improper neutralization of directives in statically saved code (\'static code injection\') (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-42084)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ftruncate: pass a signed offset The old ftruncate() syscall, using the 32-bit off_t misses a sign extension when called in compat mode on 64-bit architectures. As a result, passing a negative length accidentally succeeds in truncating to file size between 2GiB and 4GiB. Changing the type of the compat syscall to the signed compat_off_t changes the behavior so it instead returns -EINVAL. The native entry point, the truncate() syscall and the corresponding loff_t based variants are all correct already and do not suffer from this mistake.
19) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-42265)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the __releases() function in fs/file.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
20) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43892)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX(), mem_cgroup_alloc() and mem_cgroup_css_online() functions in mm/memcontrol.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
21) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21785)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error within the populate_cache_leaves() function in arch/arm64/kernel/cacheinfo.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
22) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24201)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted web page, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
23) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24928)
