CVE-2025-39697
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFS: Fix a race when updating an existing write After nfs_lock_and_join_requests() tests for whether the request is still attached to the mapping, nothing prevents a call to nfs_inode_remove_request() from succeeding until we actually lock the page group. The reason is that whoever called nfs_inode_remove_request() doesn't necessarily have a lock on the page group head. So in order to avoid races, let's take the page group lock earlier in nfs_lock_and_join_requests(), and hold it across the removal of the request in nfs_inode_remove_request().
CVE-2025-39971
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i40e: fix idx validation in config queues msg Ensure idx is within range of active/initialized TCs when iterating over vf->ch[idx] in i40e_vc_config_queues_msg().
