    It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly restrict access to the kernel debugger when
    booted in secure boot environments. A privileged attacker could use this to bypass UEFI Secure Boot
    restrictions. (CVE-2022-21499)

    Aaron Adams discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle the
    removal of stateful expressions in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local
    attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2022-1966)

    Moshe Kol, Amit Klein and Yossi Gilad discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel did not
    provide sufficient randomization when calculating port offsets. An attacker could possibly use this to
    expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-1012)

    Duoming Zhou discovered race conditions in the AX.25 amateur radio protocol implementation in the Linux
    kernel, leading to use-after-free vulnerabilities. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a
    denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-1205)

    It was discovered that the Marvell NFC device driver implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly
    perform memory cleanup operations in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local
    attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2022-1734)

    Minh Yuan discovered that the floppy driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition in some
    situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial
    of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1836)

    Ziming Zhang discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate sets
    with multiple ranged fields. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute
    arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1972)

    Joseph Ravichandran and Michael Wang discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
    properly initialize data in some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive
    information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-29968)
