DESCRIPTION
* CVE-2022-1048: Code execution in Advanced Linux Sound Architecture framework.
A race condition due to a missing locking in the Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture framework could result in a use-after-free. A local user
could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service or execute arbitrary
code.
* CVE-2022-1974: Race condition when disconnecting NFC device causes DoS.
A race condition flaw in NFC subsystem when unregistering an NFC device
could result in a system crash due to improper logic checking whether
device shutdown is in progress. A malicious local user might exploit
this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.
* CVE-2022-0494: Information disclosure in block layer subsystem.
A flaw in ioctls of the block layer subsystem could result in improper
memory initialization. A local user could use this flaw for information
disclosure.
* CVE-2022-1975: Denial-of-service in NFC firmware update.
Incorrect allocation flags when downloading new NFC firmware to a device
might result in the kernel sleeping in an atomic context, resulting in a
potential deadlock or denial-of-service.
* CVE-2022-1652: Use-after-free in the floppy driver.
An error in concurrency logic of the floppy driver could lead to a
use-after-free. A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause
denial-of-service or potentially escalate privileges.
* CVE-2022-1679: Use-after-free in Atheros ath9k wireless device driver.
Improper handling of some error conditions in Atheros ath9k wireless
device driver could lead to a use-after-free. A local user could use
this flaw to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
* CVE-2022-28893: Use-after-free in SunRPC subsystem.
A logic flaw in the SUNRPC subsystem when setting up a new connection
could lead to a use-after-free due to improper socket state handling.
A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service or execute
arbitrary code.
* CVE-2022-1734: Use-after-free in Marvell NFC device driver.
A logic flaw in synchronization between firmware download and device
cleanup in the Marvell NFC device driver could lead to a use-after-free.
A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service or execute
arbitrary code.
* CVE-2022-2588: Use-after-free in IP Route Classifier.
A logic flaw in IP Route Classifier subsystem in some cases when
replacing a route filter could lead to a use-after-free. A local user
could use this flaw for denial-of-service or privilege escalation.
* CVE-2022-34918: Privilege escalation in Netfilter subsystem.
A type mismatch flaw in Netfilter subsystem when adding a new element to
NFT table could result in a buffer overflow. A local user could use this
flaw to escalate privileges.
* CVE-2022-2586: Use-after-free in Netfilter subsystem.
A logic flaw in the Netfilter subsystem when removing NFT table could
result in use-after-free. A local user could use this flaw to cause
