    inet: fully convert sk->sk_rx_dst to RCU rules (CVE-2021-47103)

    A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel NILFS file system was found in the way user triggers function     security_inode_alloc to fail with following call to function nilfs_mdt_destroy. A local user could use     this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2978)

    A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Linux Kernel. This vulnerability affects the     function bnx2x_tpa_stop of the file drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_cmn.c of the component BPF.
    The manipulation leads to memory leak. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-211042 is     the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3542)

    A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this issue     is the function del_timer of the file drivers/isdn/mISDN/l1oip_core.c of the component Bluetooth. The     manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier     of this vulnerability is VDB-211088. (CVE-2022-3565)

    A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this     vulnerability is the function intr_callback of the file drivers/net/usb/r8152.c of the component BPF. The     manipulation leads to logging of excessive data. The attack can be launched remotely. It is recommended to     apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211363.
    (CVE-2022-3594)

    A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function     nilfs_bmap_lookup_at_level of the file fs/nilfs2/inode.c of the component nilfs2. The manipulation leads     to null pointer dereference. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. It is recommended to apply a     patch to fix this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211920. (CVE-2022-3621)

    A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Linux Kernel. This issue affects     the function nilfs_attach_log_writer of the file fs/nilfs2/segment.c of the component BPF. The     manipulation leads to memory leak. The attack may be initiated remotely. It is recommended to apply a     patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-211961 was assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3646)

    A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function     nilfs_new_inode of the file fs/nilfs2/inode.c of the component BPF. The manipulation leads to use after     free. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
    The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211992. (CVE-2022-3649)

    An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.19. In pxa3xx_gcu_write in     drivers/video/fbdev/pxa3xx-gcu.c, the count parameter has a type conflict of size_t versus int, causing an     integer overflow and bypassing the size check. After that, because it is used as the third argument to     copy_from_user(), a heap overflow may occur. (CVE-2022-39842)

    drivers/scsi/stex.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.9 allows local users to obtain sensitive information     from kernel memory because stex_queuecommand_lck lacks a memset for the PASSTHRU_CMD case.
    (CVE-2022-40768)

    drivers/video/fbdev/smscufx.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition and resultant use-     after-free if a physically proximate attacker removes a USB device while calling open(), aka a race     condition between ufx_ops_open and ufx_usb_disconnect. (CVE-2022-41849)

    roccat_report_event in drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.12 has a race condition     and resultant use-after-free in certain situations where a report is received while copying a     report->value is in progress. (CVE-2022-41850)

    drivers/usb/mon/mon_bin.c in usbmon in the Linux kernel before 5.19.15 and 6.x before 6.0.1 allows a user-     space client to corrupt the monitor's internal memory. (CVE-2022-43750)

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

    netfilter: ebtables: fix memory leak when blob is malformed (CVE-2022-48641)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipvlan: Fix out-of-bound bugs caused     by unset skb->mac_header If an AF_PACKET socket is used to send packets through ipvlan and the default     xmit function of the AF_PACKET socket is changed from dev_queue_xmit() to packet_direct_xmit() via     setsockopt() with the option name of PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, the skb->mac_header may not be reset and remains     as the initial value of 65535, this may trigger slab-out-of-bounds bugs as following: (CVE-2022-48651)

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

    mm/slub: fix to return errno if kmalloc() fails (CVE-2022-48659)

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

    of: fdt: fix off-by-one error in unflatten_dt_nodes() (CVE-2022-48672)
