It was discovered that some AMD x86-64 processors with SMT enabled could
speculatively execute instructions using a return address from a sibling
thread. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2022-27672)
William Zhao discovered that the Traffic Control (TC) subsystem in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle network packet retransmission in
certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of

Jordy Zomer and Alexandra Sandulescu discovered that syscalls invoking the
do_prlimit() function in the Linux kernel did not properly handle
speculative execution barriers. A local attacker could use this to expose

CVE-2023-3220 [MEDIUM] CWE-476 kernel: NULL pointer dereference in dpu_crtc_atomic_check() in drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_crtc.c
kernel: NULL pointer dereference in dpu_crtc_atomic_check() in drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_crtc.c
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.1-rc8. dpu_crtc_atomic_check in drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_crtc.c lacks check of the return value of kzalloc() and will cause the NULL Pointer Dereference.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_crtc.c code in the dpu_crtc_atomic_check function, which fails because it lacks a check of the return value of kzalloc(). This issue could allow a local user to crash the system.
Statement: The related Kernel config param CONFIG_DRM_MSM enabled for Fedora only, so all versions of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux not affected.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information.
