    Duoming Zhou discovered race conditions in the AX.25 amateur radio protocol implementation in the Linux     kernel, leading to use-after-free vulnerabilities. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-1205)

    Qiuhao Li, Gaoning Pan, and Yongkang Jia discovered that the kvm implementation in the Linux kernel did     not handle releasing a virtual cpu properly. A local attacker in a guest VM coud possibly use this to     cause a denial of service (host system crash). (CVE-2022-1263)

    It was discovered that the PF_KEYv2 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize kernel     memory in some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel     memory). (CVE-2022-1353)

    It was discovered that the implementation of X.25 network protocols in the Linux kernel did not terminate     link layer sessions properly. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service     (system crash). (CVE-2022-1516)

    It was discovered that the ACRN Hypervisor Service Module implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly deallocate memory in some situations. A local privileged attacker could possibly use this to     cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2022-1651)

    It was discovered that the RxRPC session socket implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle     ioctls called when no security protocol is given. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-1671)

    Ziming Zhang discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate sets     with multiple ranged fields. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1972)

     discovered that the 802.2 LLC type 2 driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform     reference counting in some error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2022-28356)

    It was discovered that the 8 Devices USB2CAN interface implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     handle certain error conditions, leading to a double-free. A local attacker could possibly use this to     cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-28388)

    It was discovered that the Microchip CAN BUS Analyzer interface implementation in the Linux kernel did not     properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a double-free. A local attacker could possibly use     this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-28389)

    It was discovered that the EMS CAN/USB interface implementation in the Linux kernel contained a double-     free vulnerability when handling certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2022-28390)
