The short answer is: Microsoft has publicly confirmed Azure Linux as a carrier of the upstream code path implicated by CVE‑2025‑38115, but that attestation is product‑scoped — it is not a technical guarantee that no other Microsoft product could include the same vulnerable kernel code. Treat...

Microsoft’s advisory on CVE-2025-38112 confirms a race condition in the Linux kernel networking code — a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) flaw in sk_is_readable() that can result in a null-pointer dereference — and while Microsoft has publicly attested this vulnerability for its Azure Linux...

Microsoft’s public advisory for CVE-2025-38395 names a Linux kernel bug in the regulator gpio driver — a classic out‑of‑bounds allocation mistake — and confirms Azure Linux as the Microsoft product the company has already mapped to the affected upstream component, but the reality for enterprises...

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...

Short answer — No, not necessarily. Microsoft’s update guide explicitly states that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” and that Microsoft will expand product mappings (CSAF/VEX) if other Microsoft products are later found to ship the same...

Microsoft’s published wording that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is an authoritative, product‑scoped attestation — but it is not a technical proof that no other Microsoft product contains the same vulnerable code. Independent evidence shows...

Headline Is Azure Linux truly the only Microsoft product that ships the vulnerable drm/amd/pm code (CVE‑2025‑38705)? Short answer, nuance first — no, not necessarily — but the practical impact depends on which Microsoft kernel builds you actually run. Lead Microsoft’s MSRC advisory for...

For years, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has bridged the gap between Microsoft Windows and Linux, serving as a vital tool for developers, sysadmins, and power users who require both ecosystems to coexist seamlessly. While distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, and others have...

In a move emblematic of the evolving relationship between Microsoft and the open-source community, Fedora Linux has officially joined the array of distributions available through the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows. This noteworthy milestone, widely reported and confirmed by trusted...
