Microsoft’s short public 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 no other Microsoft product contains the same vulnerable kernel code; operators must...

A Linux kernel correctness bug affecting LoongArch hugetlb mappings — tracked as CVE-2025-21949 — can produce a kernel BUG during hugetlbfs unmapping when the hugetlb mmap base is not aligned to the PMD (Page Middle Directory) size. The vulnerability is availability-first: reproducible kernel...
