Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

CVE-2022-2978
"butt3rflyh4ck", Hao Sun, and Jiacheng Xu reported a flaw in the
nilfs2 filesystem driver which can lead to a use-after-free. A
local use might be able to exploit this to cause a denial of
service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege
escalation.

CVE-2022-3521
The syzbot tool found a race condition in the KCM subsystem
which could lead to a crash.

This subsystem is not enabled in Debian's official kernel
configurations.

CVE-2022-3524
The syzbot tool found a race condition in the IPv6 stack which
could lead to a memory leak. A local user could exploit this to
cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).

CVE-2022-3564
A flaw was discovered in the Bluetooh L2CAP subsystem which
would lead to a use-after-free. This might be exploitable
to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2022-3565
A flaw was discovered in the mISDN driver which would lead to a
use-after-free. This might be exploitable to cause a denial of
service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege
escalation.

CVE-2022-3594
Andrew Gaul reported that the r8152 Ethernet driver would log
excessive numbers of messages in response to network errors. A
remote attacker could possibly exploit this to cause a denial of
service (resource exhaustion).

CVE-2022-3621, CVE-2022-3646
The syzbot tool found flaws in the nilfs2 filesystem driver which
can lead to a null pointer dereference or memory leak. A user
permitted to mount arbitrary filesystem images could use these to
cause a denial of service (crash or resource exhaustion).

CVE-2022-3628
Dokyung Song, Jisoo Jang, and Minsuk Kang reported a potential
heap-based buffer overflow in the brcmfmac Wi-Fi driver. A user
able to connect a malicious USB device could exploit this to cause
a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for
privilege escalation.

CVE-2022-3640
A flaw was discovered in the Bluetooh L2CAP subsystem which
would lead to a use-after-free. This might be exploitable
to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2022-3643 (XSA-423)
A flaw was discovered in the Xen network backend driver that would
result in it generating malformed packet buffers. If these
packets were forwarded to certain other network devices, a Xen
guest could exploit this to cause a denial of service (crash or
device reset).

CVE-2022-3649
The syzbot tool found flaws in the nilfs2 filesystem driver which
can lead to a use-after-free. A user permitted to mount arbitrary
filesystem images could use these to cause a denial of service
(crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2022-4378
Kyle Zeng found a flaw in procfs that would cause a stack-based
buffer overflow. A local user permitted to write to a sysctl
could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory
corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2022-20369
A flaw was found in the v4l2-mem2mem media driver that would lead
to an out-of-bounds write. A local user with access to such a
device could exploit this for privilege escalation.

CVE-2022-29901
Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi reported that for Intel
processors (Intel Core generation 6, 7 and 8), protections against
speculative branch target injection attacks were insufficient in
some circumstances, which may allow arbitrary speculative code
execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions.

CVE-2022-40768
"hdthky" reported that the stex SCSI adapter driver did not fully
initialise a structure that is copied to user-space. A local user
with access to such a device could exploit this to leak sensitive
information.

CVE-2022-41849
A race condition was discovered in the smscufx graphics driver,
which could lead to a use-after-free. A user able to remove the
physical device while also accessing its device node could exploit
this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2022-41850
A race condition was discovered in the hid-roccat input driver,
which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user able to access
such a device could exploit this to cause a denial of service
(crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.

CVE-2022-42328, CVE-2022-42329 (XSA-424)
Yang Yingliang reported that the Xen network backend driver did
not use the proper function to free packet buffers in one case,
which could lead to a deadlock. A Xen guest could exploit this to
cause a denial of service (hang).

CVE-2022-42895
Tamás Koczka reported a flaw in the Bluetooh L2CAP subsystem
that would result in reading uninitialised memory. A nearby
attacker able to make a Bluetooth connection could exploit
this to leak sensitive information.

CVE-2022-42896
Tamás Koczka reported flaws in the Bluetooh L2CAP subsystem that
can lead to a use-after-free. A nearby attacker able to make a
Bluetooth SMP connection could exploit this to cause a denial of
service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for remote code
execution.

CVE-2022-43750
The syzbot tool found that the USB monitor (usbmon) driver allowed
user-space programs to overwrite the driver's data structures. A
local user permitted to access a USB monitor device could exploit
this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or
possibly for privilege escalation. However, by default only the
root user can access such devices.
