Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

TLDR:

The new flaws are CVE-2025-6018 and CVE-2025-6019.

The first is a vulnerability in PAM. The second is in libblockdev.

The PAM vulnerability only affects SUSE Linux systems, other distros are not affected.

Vulnerable versions of libblockdev are 2.25-2 and 2.28-2, newer updates have it fixed.
