    2024-05-23: CVE-2021-47088 was added to this advisory.

    2024-04-25: CVE-2021-46937 was added to this advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    mm/damon/dbgfs: fix 'struct pid' leaks in 'dbgfs_target_ids_write()' (CVE-2021-46937)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    mm/damon/dbgfs: protect targets destructions with kdamond_lock (CVE-2021-47088)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in linux/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c of the netfilter subsystem.
    This flaw allows a local user to cause an out-of-bounds write issue. (CVE-2022-1015)

    A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c:nft_do_chain, which can cause a     use-after-free. This issue needs to handle return with proper preconditions, as it can lead to a kernel     information leak problem caused by a local, unprivileged attacker. (CVE-2022-1016)

    A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the tc_new_tfilter function in net/sched/cls_api.c in the     Linux kernel. The availability of local, unprivileged user namespaces allows privilege escalation.
    (CVE-2022-1055)

    An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in nft_fwd_dup_netdev_offload in     net/netfilter/nf_dup_netdev.c in the netfilter subcomponent in the Linux kernel due to a heap out-of-     bounds write problem. This flaw allows a local attacker with a user account on the system to gain access     to out-of-bounds memory, leading to a system crash or a privilege escalation threat. (CVE-2022-25636)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    drm/vrr: Set VRR capable prop only if it is attached to connector (CVE-2022-48843)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    sctp: fix kernel-infoleak for SCTP sockets (CVE-2022-48855)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    net/mlx5: Fix a race on command flush flow (CVE-2022-48858)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    netfilter: fix use-after-free in __nf_register_net_hook() (CVE-2022-48912)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    cifs: fix double free race when mount fails in cifs_get_root() (CVE-2022-48919)
