    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    CVE-2022-2873

        Zheyu Ma discovered that an out-of-bounds memory access flaw in         the Intel iSMT SMBus 2.0 host controller driver may result in         denial of service (system crash).

    CVE-2022-3545

        It was discovered that the Netronome Flow Processor (NFP) driver         contained a use-after-free flaw in area_cache_get(), which may         result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

    CVE-2022-3623

        A race condition when looking up a CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page         may result in denial of service or an information leak.

    CVE-2022-4696

        A use-after-free vulnerability was discovered in the io_uring         subsystem.

    CVE-2022-36280

        An out-of-bounds memory write vulnerability was discovered in the         vmwgfx driver, which may allow a local unprivileged user to cause         a denial of service (system crash).

    CVE-2022-41218

        Hyunwoo Kim reported a use-after-free flaw in the Media DVB core         subsystem caused by refcount races, which may allow a local user         to cause a denial of service or escalate privileges.

    CVE-2022-45934

        An integer overflow in l2cap_config_req() in the Bluetooth         subsystem was discovered, which may allow a physically proximate         attacker to cause a denial of service (system crash).

    CVE-2022-47929

        Frederick Lawler reported a NULL pointer dereference in the         traffic control subsystem allowing an unprivileged user to cause a         denial of service by setting up a specially crafted traffic         control configuration.

    CVE-2023-0179

        Davide Ornaghi discovered incorrect arithmetics when fetching VLAN         header bits in the netfilter subsystem, allowing a local user to         leak stack and heap addresses or potentially local privilege         escalation to root.

    CVE-2023-0240

        A flaw was discovered in the io_uring subsystem that could lead         to a use-after-free.  A local user could exploit this to cause         a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for         privilege escalation.

    CVE-2023-0266

        A use-after-free flaw in the sound subsystem due to missing         locking may result in denial of service or privilege escalation.

    CVE-2023-0394

        Kyle Zeng discovered a NULL pointer dereference flaw in         rawv6_push_pending_frames() in the network subsystem allowing a         local user to cause a denial of service (system crash).

    CVE-2023-23454

        Kyle Zeng reported that the Class Based Queueing (CBQ) network         scheduler was prone to denial of service due to interpreting         classification results before checking the classification return         code.

    CVE-2023-23455

        Kyle Zeng reported that the ATM Virtual Circuits (ATM) network         scheduler was prone to a denial of service due to interpreting         classification results before checking the classification return         code.

    CVE-2023-23586

        A flaw was discovered in the io_uring subsystem that could lead to         an information leak.  A local user could exploit this to obtain         sensitive information from the kernel or other users.
