    * kernel: possible race condition in drivers/tty/tty_buffers.c (CVE-2022-1462)

    * kernel: buffer overflow in nft_set_desc_concat_parse() (CVE-2022-2078)

    * kernel: nf_tables cross-table potential use-after-free may lead to local privilege escalation     (CVE-2022-2586)

    * kernel: netfilter: nf_conntrack_irc message handling issue (CVE-2022-2663)

    * kernel: memory leak in ipv6_renew_options() (CVE-2022-3524)

    * kernel: nfp: use-after-free in area_cache_get() (CVE-2022-3545)

    * kernel: data races around icsk->icsk_af_ops in do_ipv6_setsockopt (CVE-2022-3566)

    * kernel: Rate limit overflow messages in r8152 in intr_callback (CVE-2022-3594)
