DESCRIPTION

* Incorrect initialization in BTRFS's zlib compression.

Incorrect initialization in BTRFS zlib compression implementation can
lead to use of uninitialized memory.  This can lead to leak of
privileged information or denial-of-service.


* CVE-2022-27672: Information disclosure due to Cross-Thread Return Address Predictions.

When SMT (simultaneous multithreading) is enabled, certain AMD processors
may speculative execute instructions using a target from the sibling thread.
This can potentially lead to information disclosure.


* CVE-2023-1513: Information leak in KVM ioctl.

Incomplete initialization of structure returned to user during KVM's
KVM_GET_DEBUGREGS ioctl can lead to information leak. This can allow a local
user to access to privileged data.


* CVE-2022-3707: Double-free in Intel GVT-g graphics driver.

Incorrect error handling in the Intel GVT-g graphics driver can lead to a
double free. This can allow a local user to cause denial-of-service.


* CVE-2023-20938: Use-after-free in the Android Binder deriver.

Lack of input validation in the Android Binder driver when releasing a
transaction buffer could lead to a user-after-free.  A local unprivileged
user could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service or elevate its
privileges.


* CVE-2023-1118: Use-after-free in ENE eHome Receiver/Tranceiver driver.

A logic error in the ENE integrated infrared receiver/transceiver leads
to a use-after-free. A local user can use this flaw to cause
denial-of-service or escalate privileges.


* CVE-2023-2162: Use-after-free during iSCSI login.

A logic error in the in the iSCSI login path can result in a
use-after-free error.  This flaw could be exploited by a local attacker
to cause a denial-of-service, or to aid in another type of attack.


* CVE-2023-0459: Information leak in during userspace access.

Improper handling of user-provided pointers can result in a kernel
information leak.  This flaw could be exploited by an attacker to leak
sensitive information and to aid in other types of attacks.


* CVE-2023-1075: Information disclosure in Transport Layer Security support.

A type confusion error in TLS support when checking for list emptiness
in tls_is_tx_ready() may lead to a read to an unauthorized memory
location. A local attacker could use this flaw to expose sensitive
information from the kernel.


* CVE-2023-1078: Out-of-bounds memory access in Reliable Datagram Sockets.

A type confusion in RDS protocol when sending messages can lead to an
out-of-bounds memory access. A local attacker can use this flaw for a
denial-of-service or arbitrary code execution.


* CVE-2023-32269: Use-after-free in Netrom Sockets.

A race condition in netrom when calling accept on an already connected
socket can lead to a use-after-free. A local user could use this flaw to
cause a denial of service or elevate privileges on the system.
