An update is available for kernel.
This update affects Rocky Linux 8.
A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE list
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: kernel (4.18.0). (BZ#2036888)

Security Fix(es):

• kernel: improper initialization of the “flags” member of the new pipe_buffer (CVE-2022-0847)

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

• kernel: local privilege escalation by exploiting the fsconfig syscall parameter leads to container breakout (CVE-2021-4154)

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

• kernel: remote stack overflow via kernel panic on systems using TIPC may lead to DoS (CVE-2022-0435)

• kernel: cgroups v1 release_agent feature may allow privilege escalation (CVE-2022-0492)

• kernel: missing check in ioctl allows kernel memory read/write (CVE-2022-0516)

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