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.

Shit, just linux.

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
