referenced in the USN-5727-2 advisory.

  - In emulation_proc_handler of armv8_deprecated.c, there is a possible way to corrupt memory due to a race
    condition. 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-237540956References: Upstream kernel (CVE-2022-20422)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM when attempting to set a SynIC IRQ. This issue makes it
    possible for a misbehaving VMM to write to SYNIC/STIMER MSRs, causing a NULL pointer dereference. This
    flaw allows an unprivileged local attacker on the host to issue specific ioctl calls, causing a kernel
    oops condition that results in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-2153)

  - A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel NILFS file system was found in the way user triggers function
    security_inode_alloc to fail with following call to function nilfs_mdt_destroy. A local user could use
    this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2022-2978)

  - A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's IP framework for transforming packets (XFRM subsystem)
    when multiple calls to xfrm_probe_algs occurred simultaneously. This flaw could allow a local attacker to
    potentially trigger an out-of-bounds write or leak kernel heap memory by performing an out-of-bounds read
    and copying it into a socket. (CVE-2022-3028)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected by this issue
    is the function tst_timer of the file drivers/atm/idt77252.c of the component IPsec. The manipulation
    leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-211934 is the
    identifier assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3635)

  - An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14. xfrm_expand_policies in
    net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c can cause a refcount to be dropped twice. (CVE-2022-36879)

  - drivers/scsi/stex.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.9 allows local users to obtain sensitive information
    from kernel memory because stex_queuecommand_lck lacks a memset for the PASSTHRU_CMD case.
    (CVE-2022-40768)
