  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
    i2c: i801: Fix block process call transactions According to the     Intel datasheets, software must reset the block buffer index twice     for block process call transactions: once before writing the     outgoing data to the buffer, and once again before reading the     incoming data from the buffer. The driver is currently missing     the second reset, causing the wrong portion of the block buffer     to be read. (CVE-2024-26593)
