In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/virtio: Check whether transferred 2D BO is shmem
Transferred 2D BO always must be a shmem BO. Add check for that to prevent
NULL dereference if userspace passes a VRAM BO.

CVE-2022-50842 [MEDIUM] CWE-476 kernel: drm/virtio: Check whether transferred 2D BO is shmem
kernel: drm/virtio: Check whether transferred 2D BO is shmem
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/virtio: Check whether transferred 2D BO is shmem
Transferred 2D BO always must be a shmem BO. Add check for that to prevent
NULL dereference if userspace passes a VRAM BO.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel networking subsystem. Under certain conditions, a pointer may be dereferenced without proper validation, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. An unprivileged local user could trigger this flaw by exercising the affected networking functionality, causing a kernel crash and resulting in a denial of service.
Mitigation: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteri
