  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xen/arm: Fix race in RB-tree based P2M
    accounting During the PV driver life cycle the mappings are added to the RB-tree by
    set_foreign_p2m_mapping(), which is called from gnttab_map_refs() and are removed by
    clear_foreign_p2m_mapping() which is called from gnttab_unmap_refs(). As both functions end up calling
    __set_phys_to_machine_multi() which updates the RB-tree, this function can be called concurrently. There
    is already a p2m_lock to protect against concurrent accesses, but the problem is that the first read of
    phys_to_mach.rb_node in __set_phys_to_machine_multi() is not covered by it, so this might lead to the
    incorrect mappings update (removing in our case) in RB-tree. In my environment the related issue happens
    rarely and only when PV net backend is running, the xen_add_phys_to_mach_entry() claims that it cannot add
    new pfn <-> mfn mapping to the tree since it is already exists which results in a failure when mapping
    foreign pages. But there might be other bad consequences related to the non-protected root reads such use-
    after-free, etc. While at it, also fix the similar usage in __pfn_to_mfn(), so initialize struct rb_node
    *n with the p2m_lock held in both functions to avoid possible bad consequences. This is CVE-2022-33744
    / XSA-406. (CVE-2022-49660)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
