The Lynx WWW client vulnerability identified as CVE‑1999‑0817 is real and ancient, but it has resurfaced in conversations because Microsoft’s Security Response Center (MSRC) published a product‑scoped attestation saying Azure Linux (the Azure Linux distribution, formerly CBL‑Mariner) includes...
The short answer is: No — “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is a product‑level attestation, not a statement of exclusivity. Microsoft has publicly confirmed that Azure Linux was found to include the vulnerable Vim component for this CVE, and...
Microsoft’s short answer — that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” — is accurate as a product‑level attestation, but it is not a technical guarantee that Azure Linux is the only Microsoft product that could contain the vulnerable fbdev code...
The Linux kernel patch for CVE-2025-38204 closes an array-index-out-of-bounds read in the JFS filesystem implementation’s add_missing_indices routine — a correctness fix that prevents a malformed on-disk structure from producing an out-of-bounds read and a potential kernel crash. Microsoft’s...
The Linux kernel bug tracked as CVE-2025-38261 is a narrow but important RISC‑V architecture issue that showed up during heavy stress testing: the kernel could fail to save and restore the RISC‑V supervisor user‑memory access flag (SR_SUM) across context switches. Microsoft’s public CVE entry...
Microsoft’s short answer — that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” — is an authoritative, product‑level attestation, but it is not a technical guarantee that no other Microsoft product could contain the same vulnerable Linux kernel code...
Microsoft’s short product attestation that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is useful — but it is a product‑scoped inventory statement, not proof that no other Microsoft product or image can include the same vulnerable ext4 code. rview...
Microsoft’s public advisory that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is accurate — but it is a product‑scoped attestation, not a claim that Azure Linux is the only Microsoft product that could contain the vulnerable kernel code. erview...
Microsoft’s short public mapping that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is accurate for the product Microsoft checked — but it is not a categorical statement that no other Microsoft product can contain the same vulnerable MiniZip code...
Microsoft’s short statement — that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” — is accurate for the product it names, but it is not a categorical guarantee that no other Microsoft product carries the same vulnerable Lynx code; absence of additional...
Microsoft’s short MSRC entry for CVE-2025-37984 — the Linux-kernel ECDSA hardening fix around DIV_ROUND_UP() — is accurate for the product it names, but it is not a categorical statement that no other Microsoft product could contain the same vulnerable upstream code; instead it is a...
The Linux kernel vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-37766 — a division-by-zero flaw in the AMD GPU power-management code (drm/amd/pm) — has reignited an important question for Microsoft customers: when Microsoft’s Security Response Center (MSRC) says “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library...
CVE-2024-2756 is a practical reminder that a terse vendor mapping — “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” — is an attestation of scope, not a categorical guarantee that no other Microsoft product could ship the same vulnerable code.

The MSRC advisory for CVE-2025-38412 names Azure Linux as a Microsoft product that “includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected,” but that statement is a scoped, machine‑readable inventory attestation — not a technical guarantee that only Azure Linux could ever carry...
Microsoft’s brief advisory that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is accurate — but it’s a product‑scoped inventory attestation, not a blanket guarantee that no other Microsoft product could contain the same vulnerable component.
Background /...
Microsoft’s short public note that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is an accurate, product‑scoped attestation — but it is not a categorical guarantee that no other Microsoft product includes the same vulnerable kernel code. Azure Linux is the...
Microsoft’s MSRC advisory for CVE-2025-38468 confirms that the vulnerable code — a Linux kernel traffic‑control bug in net/sched where htb_lookup_leaf can hit a BUG_ON when presented with an empty rbtree — is present in the Azure Linux product family, and Microsoft says it has begun publishing...
A recent upstream Linux kernel fix — recorded as CVE-2025-38476 and described in the patch notes as “rpl: Fix use-after-free in rpl_do_srh_inline” — addresses a correctness bug in the kernel’s IPv6 route-probing/lwtunnel code that can lead to a use‑after‑free detectable under KASAN testing...
Microsoft’s short public answer — that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” — is accurate for the Azure Linux product family, but it is not a technical proof that no other Microsoft product or image could contain the same vulnerable kernel code...
