Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-08 07:06:19 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm: verity-loadpin: Only trust verity targets with enforcement

Verity targets can be configured to ignore corrupted data blocks.
LoadPin must only trust verity targets that are configured to
perform some kind of enforcement when data corruption is detected,
like returning an error, restarting the system or triggering a
panic.
