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

Security Fix(es):

  • a use-after-free in cls_route filter implementation may lead to privilege escalation (CVE-2022-2588)

  • Incomplete cleanup of multi-core shared buffers (aka SBDR) (CVE-2022-21123)

  • Incomplete cleanup of microarchitectural fill buffers (aka SBDS) (CVE-2022-21125)

  • Incomplete cleanup in specific special register write operations (aka DRPW) (CVE-2022-21166)
