    Enrico Barberis, Pietro Frigo, Marius Muench, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that     hardware mitigations added by ARM to their processors to address Spectre-BTI were insufficient. A local     attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-23960)

    It was discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict pointer types in     certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-23222)

    Enrico Barberis, Pietro Frigo, Marius Muench, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that     hardware mitigations added by Intel to their processors to address Spectre-BTI were insufficient. A local     attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-0001)

    Jann Horn discovered a race condition in the Unix domain socket implementation in the Linux kernel that     could result in a read-after-free. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-4083)

    It was discovered that the NFS server implementation 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 possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-4090)

    Samuel Page discovered that the Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol implementation in     the Linux kernel contained a stack-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this to cause a     denial of service (system crash) for systems that have a TIPC bearer configured. (CVE-2022-0435)

    It was discovered that the KVM implementation for s390 systems in the Linux kernel did not properly     prevent memory operations on PVM guests that were in non-protected mode. A local attacker could use this     to obtain unauthorized memory write access. (CVE-2022-0516)

    It was discovered that the ICMPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in     certain situations. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (memory     exhaustion). (CVE-2022-0742)

    It was discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain     failure conditions, leading to a stale entry in the file descriptor table.
