The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: * off-path attacker may inject data or terminate victim"s TCP session * race condition in VT_RESIZEX ioctl when vc_cons[i].d is already NULL leading to NULL pointer dereference * use-after-free vulnerability in function sco_sock_sendmsg * memory leak for large arguments in video_usercopy function in drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c * smb2_ioctl_query_info NULL Pointer Dereference * NULL pointer dereference in udf_expand_file_adinicbdue during writeback * swiotlb information leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE * uninitialized registers on stack in nft_do_chain can cause kernel pointer leakage to UM * race condition in snd_pcm_hw_free leading to use-after-free * use-after-free in tc_new_tfilter in net/sched/cls_api.c * use-after-free and memory errors in ext4 when mounting and operating on a corrupted image * NULL pointer dereference in x86_emulate_insn may lead to DoS * buffer overflow in nft_set_desc_concat_parse * nf_tables cross-table potential use-after-free may lead to local privilege escalation * openvswitch: integer underflow leads to out-of-bounds write in reserve_sfa_size * use-after-free when psi trigger is destroyed while being polled * net/packet: slab-out-of-bounds access in packet_recvmsg * possible to use the debugger to write zero into a location of choice * Spectre-BHB * Post-barrier Return Stack Buffer Predictions * memory leak in drivers/hid/hid-elo.c * double free in ems_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/ems_usb.c * use after free in SUNRPC subsystem * use-after-free due to improper update of reference count in net/sched/cls_u32.c * DoS in nfqnl_mangle in net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c * nfs_atomic_open returns uninitialized data instead of ENOTDIR For more details about the security issue, including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page listed in the References section.
