  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: Fix possible use-after-free
    by calling del_timer_sync() This driver's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function does not
    wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the timer handler may still be running after the
    driver's remove function has finished, which would result in a use-after-free. Fix by calling
    del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself.
    (CVE-2021-47321)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio-net: Add validation for used
    length This adds validation for used length (might come from an untrusted device) to avoid data corruption
    or loss. (CVE-2021-47352)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmem: Fix shift-out-of-bound (UBSAN)
    with byte size cells If a cell has 'nbits' equal to a multiple of BITS_PER_BYTE the logic *p &=
    GENMASK((cell->nbits%BITS_PER_BYTE) - 1, 0); will become undefined behavior because nbits modulo
    BITS_PER_BYTE is 0, and we subtract one from that making a large number that is then shifted more than the
    number of bits that fit into an unsigned long. UBSAN reports this problem: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in
    drivers/nvmem/core.c:1386:8 shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'unsigned long' CPU: 6 PID: 7

  - Linux PV device frontends vulnerable to attacks by backends T[his CNA information record relates to
    multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Several Linux PV
    device frontends are using the grant table interfaces for removing access rights of the backends in ways
    being subject to race conditions, resulting in potential data leaks, data corruption by malicious
    backends, and denial of service triggered by malicious backends: blkfront, netfront, scsifront and the
    gntalloc driver are testing whether a grant reference is still in use. If this is not the case, they
    assume that a following removal of the granted access will always succeed, which is not true in case the
    backend has mapped the granted page between those two operations. As a result the backend can keep access
    to the memory page of the guest no matter how the page will be used after the frontend I/O has finished.
    The xenbus driver has a similar problem, as it doesn't check the success of removing the granted access of
    a shared ring buffer. blkfront: CVE-2022-23036 netfront: CVE-2022-23037 scsifront: CVE-2022-23038
    gntalloc: CVE-2022-23039 xenbus: CVE-2022-23040 blkfront, netfront, scsifront, usbfront, dmabuf, xenbus,
    9p, kbdfront, and pvcalls are using a functionality to delay freeing a grant reference until it is no
    longer in use, but the freeing of the related data page is not synchronized with dropping the granted
    access. As a result the backend can keep access to the memory page even after it has been freed and then
    re-used for a different purpose. CVE-2022-23041 netfront will fail a BUG_ON() assertion if it fails to
    revoke access in the rx path. This will result in a Denial of Service (DoS) situation of the guest which
    can be triggered by the backend. CVE-2022-23042 (CVE-2022-23037, CVE-2022-23038, CVE-2022-23039)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/dvb-core/dvbdev.c has a use-
    after-free, related to dvb_register_device dynamically allocating fops. (CVE-2022-45884)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
