* kernel: speculative pointer dereference in do_prlimit() in kernel/sys.c (CVE-2023-0458)

* kernel: HID: check empty report_list in hid_validate_values() (CVE-2023-1073)

* kernel: hid: Use After Free in asus_remove() (CVE-2023-1079)

* kernel: Possible use-after-free since the two fdget() during vhost_net_set_backend() (CVE-2023-1838)

* kernel: UAF during login when accessing the shost ipaddress (CVE-2023-2162)

* kernel: use after free in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c due to race (CVE-2023-3567)

* kernel: xfrm: NULL pointer dereference in xfrm_update_ae_params() (CVE-2023-3772)

* kernel: smsusb: use-after-free caused by do_submit_urb() (CVE-2023-4132)

* kernel: A heap out-of-bounds write (CVE-2023-5717)

* kernel: denial of service in atm_tc_enqueue in net/sched/sch_atm.c due to type confusion (CVE-2023-23455)

* kernel: mpls: double free on sysctl allocation failure (CVE-2023-26545)

* kernel: Denial of service issue in az6027 driver in drivers/media/usb/dev-usb/az6027.c (CVE-2023-28328)

* kernel: net: qcom/emac: race condition leading to use-after-free in emac_remove() (CVE-2023-33203)

* kernel: saa7134: race condition leading to use-after-free in saa7134_finidev() (CVE-2023-35823)

* kernel: dm1105: race condition leading to use-after-free in dm1105_remove.c() (CVE-2023-35824)

* kernel: r592: race condition leading to use-after-free in r592_remove() (CVE-2023-35825)

* kernel: SEV-ES local priv escalation (CVE-2023-46813)

* kernel: net/tls: tls_is_tx_ready() checked list_entry (CVE-2023-1075)

* kernel: use-after-free bug in remove function xgene_hwmon_remove (CVE-2023-1855)

* kernel: Use after free bug in r592_remove (CVE-2023-3141)
