referenced in the USN-5515-1 advisory.
Eric Biederman discovered that the cgroup process migration implementation in the Linux kernel did not
perform permission checks correctly in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain
administrative privileges. (CVE-2021-4197)
Jann Horn discovered that the FUSE file system in the Linux kernel contained 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-2022-1011)
Duoming Zhou discovered that the 6pack protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not handle detach
events properly in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-1198)
Duoming Zhou discovered that the AX.25 amateur radio protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not
handle detach events properly in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1199)
Duoming Zhou discovered race conditions in the AX.25 amateur radio protocol implementation in the Linux
kernel during device detach operations. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2022-1204)
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 PF_KEYv2 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize kernel
memory in some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel
memory). (CVE-2022-1353)
It was discovered that the implementation of X.25 network protocols in the Linux kernel did not terminate
link layer sessions properly. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2022-1516)
Zheyu Ma discovered that the Silicon Motion SM712 framebuffer driver in the Linux kernel did not properly
handle very small reads. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2022-2380)
It was discovered that the Microchip CAN BUS Analyzer interface implementation in the Linux kernel did not
properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a double-free. A local attacker could possibly use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-28389)
