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

    io_uring/af_unix: disable sending io_uring over sockets (CVE-2023-52654)

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

    tcp: do not accept ACK of bytes we never sent (CVE-2023-52881)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux Kernel due to a race problem in the unix garbage collector's     deletion of SKB races with unix_stream_read_generic() on the socket that the SKB is queued on.
    (CVE-2023-6531)

    An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in smbCalcSize in fs/smb/client/netmisc.c in the Linux     Kernel. This issue could allow a local attacker to crash the system or leak internal kernel information.
    (CVE-2023-6606)

    A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation.

    The function nft_pipapo_walk did not skip inactive elements during set walk which could lead double     deactivations of PIPAPO (Pile Packet Policies) elements, leading to use-after-free.

    We recommend upgrading past commit 317eb9685095678f2c9f5a8189de698c5354316a. (CVE-2023-6817)

    A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Performance Events system component can be     exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

    A perf_event's read_size can overflow, leading to an heap out-of-bounds increment or write in     perf_read_group().

    We recommend upgrading past commit 382c27f4ed28f803b1f1473ac2d8db0afc795a1b. (CVE-2023-6931)

    A use-after-free flaw was found in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. If the catchall element is     garbage-collected when the pipapo set is removed, the element can be deactivated twice. This can cause a     use-after-free issue on an NFT_CHAIN object or NFT_OBJECT object, allowing a local unprivileged user with     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2024-0193)

    An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in receive_encrypted_standard in fs/smb/client/smb2ops.c in     the SMB Client sub-component in the Linux Kernel. This issue occurs due to integer underflow on the memcpy     length, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-0565)

    An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transport Layer Security functionality     in how a user calls a function splice with a ktls socket as the destination. This flaw allows a local user     to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2024-0646)

    In the Linux kernel before 6.6.7, an untrusted VMM can trigger int80 syscall handling at any given point.
    This is related to arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c and arch/x86/mm/mem_encrypt_amd.c. (CVE-2024-25744)
