The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

Security Fix(es):

  • kernel: Use After Free in unix_gc() which could result in a local privilege escalation (CVE-2021-0920)

  • kernel: fget: check that the fd still exists after getting a ref to it (CVE-2021-4083)

  • kernel: possible privileges escalation due to missing TLB flush (CVE-2022-0330)

  • kernel: failing usercopy allows for use-after-free exploitation (CVE-2022-22942)
