    CVE-2025-38125: Linux STMMAC Patch and Azure Linux Attestation

    The Linux kernel fix tracked as CVE-2025-38125 corrects a simple but dangerous logic error in the STMMAC Ethernet driver: if the driver’s recorded ptp_rate is zero, that bogus value can be propagated into the EST configuration and cause a division‑by‑zero. Microsoft’s public advisory names Azure...
