Jann Horn discovered that the watch_queue event notification subsystem in
the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
escalate their privileges. (CVE-2022-0995)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- Network drivers;
- File systems infrastructure;
- NTFS3 file system;
- Ethernet bridge;
- Ethtool driver;
- IPv6 networking;
- Network traffic control;
- VMware vSockets driver;
