the USN-5630-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not verify size limits when changing
    font or screen size, leading to an out-of- bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial
    of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33655)

    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, CVE-2022-32296)

    Norbert Slusarek discovered that a race condition existed in the perf subsystem in the Linux kernel,
    resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial
    of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1729)

    It was discovered that the device-mapper verity (dm-verity) driver in the Linux kernel did not properly
    verify targets being loaded into the device- mapper table. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a
    denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2503)

    Domingo Dirutigliano and Nicola Guerrera discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did
    not properly handle rules that truncated packets below the packet header size. When such rules are in
    place, a remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2022-36946)
