* kernel: memory leak in drivers/hid/hid-elo.c (CVE-2022-27950)

* kernel: use-after-free in tc_new_tfilter() in net/sched/cls_api.c (CVE-2022-1055)

* kernel: use-after-free when psi trigger is destroyed while being polled (CVE-2022-2938)

* kernel: u8 overflow problem in cfg80211_update_notlisted_nontrans() (CVE-2022-41674)
