  - In do_epoll_ctl and ep_loop_check_proc of eventpoll.c, there is a possible use after free due to a logic     error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.
    User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID:
    A-147802478References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2020-0466)

  - An issue was discovered in ioapic_lazy_update_eoi in arch/x86/kvm/ioapic.c in the Linux kernel before     5.9.2. It has an infinite loop related to improper interaction between a resampler and edge triggering,     aka CID-77377064c3a9. (CVE-2020-27152)

  - In drivers/target/target_core_xcopy.c in the Linux kernel before 5.10.7, insufficient identifier checking     in the LIO SCSI target code can be used by remote attackers to read or write files via directory traversal     in an XCOPY request, aka CID-2896c93811e3. For example, an attack can occur over a network if the attacker     has access to one iSCSI LUN. The attacker gains control over file access because I/O operations are     proxied via an attacker-selected backstore. (CVE-2020-28374)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.10.11. PI futexes have a kernel stack use-after-free     during fault handling, allowing local users to execute code in the kernel, aka CID-34b1a1ce1458.
    (CVE-2021-3347)

  - A local privilege escalation was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.10.13. Multiple race conditions     in the AF_VSOCK implementation are caused by wrong locking in net/vmw_vsock/af_vsock.c. The race     conditions were implicitly introduced in the commits that added VSOCK multi-transport support.
    (CVE-2021-26708)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. A kernel pointer leak can be used to determine     the address of the iscsi_transport structure. When an iSCSI transport is registered with the iSCSI     subsystem, the transport's handle is available to unprivileged users via the sysfs file system, at     /sys/class/iscsi_transport/$TRANSPORT_NAME/handle. When read, the show_transport_handle function (in     drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c) is called, which leaks the handle. This handle is actually the     pointer to an iscsi_transport struct in the kernel module's global variables. (CVE-2021-27363)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c is     adversely affected by the ability of an unprivileged user to craft Netlink messages. (CVE-2021-27364)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3. Certain iSCSI data structures do not have     appropriate length constraints or checks, and can exceed the PAGE_SIZE value. An unprivileged user can     send a Netlink message that is associated with iSCSI, and has a length up to the maximum length of a     Netlink message. (CVE-2021-27365)
