lead to a change of data structures internal to the kernel. A local
attacker could use this flaw to escalate privileges.

* CVE-2023-52640: Memory corruption in NTFS Read-Write file system support.

A missing check when using NTFS version 3 extended attributes could
lead to an out-of-bounds memory write. A malicious image  could use this
flaw to cause memory corruption.

* CVE-2023-52641: Denial-of-service in NTFS Read-Write file system support.

A missing check when using NTFS Read-Write file system support could
lead to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could use this flaw
to cause a denial-of-service.

an out-of-bounds memory write. A local attacker could use this flaw to
cause memory corruption.

* CVE-2024-26750: Denial-of-service in AF_UNIX networking support.

A logic error when garbage-collecting AF_UNIX sockets could lead to
an infinite loop. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a
denial-of-service.

* CVE-2024-26777: Denial-of-service in SiS/XGI display support.

Incorrect checks on parameters passed from userspace when using SiS/XGI
display support could lead to a kernel crash. A local attacker could use
this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.

* CVE-2024-26778: Denial-of-service in S3 Savage support.

Incorrect checks on parameters passed from userspace when using S3
Savage support could lead to a kernel crash. A local attacker could use
this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.

* CVE-2024-26782: Privilege escalation when creating Multipath TCP socket.

A logic error when creating Multipath TCP socket could lead to a use-
after-free. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate privileges
or facilitate an attack.

* CVE-2024-26791: Out-of-bounds read in btrfs device name handling.

Improper validation of device names in the btrfs driver can lead to an
out-of-bounds kernel read. A local attacker could use this flaw to leak
information about running kernel and facilitate an attack.

* CVE-2024-26798: Denial-of-service when setting font in frame buffer based console driver.

A logic error when setting font in frame buffer based console driver
could lead to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could use
this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.

* CVE-2024-26804: Denial-of-service in IPv4 networking stack.

A logical error in IPv4 networking stack can lead to the continuous
increase of headroom size in socket buffer, eventually leading to a
use-after-free. A local attacker can exploit this flaw to cause a
denial-of-service.

* CVE-2024-26805: Information leak in Netlink driver during packet creation.

An incorrect buffer length calculation when creating new packets in
the Netlink driver causes uninitialized memory to be copied into a
packet buffer. This flaw could be exploited to leak sensitive
information from the running kernel.

* CVE-2024-26809: Denial-of-service when destroying pipapo socket.

A logic error when destroying pipapo socket could lead to
use-after-free.  A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a
denial-of-service.

* CVE-2024-26816: Information leak in /sys/kernel/notes for x86 systems.

An unprivileged attacker can read /sys/kernel/notes which contains
relocations of Xen variables. As System.map file is also readable
by an unprivileged attacker, KASLR can be bypassed since the attacker
can find out the relative offsets and combine that with the Xen
relocation address to find the address of any kernel symbol, which
can facilitate an attack, like privilege escalation.

* CVE-2024-26848: Denial-of-service in Andrew File System support (AFS).

A logic error when deleting files on the Andrew File System (AFS)
could lead to an infinite loop. A local attacker could use this
flaw to cause a denial-of-service.

* CVE-2024-26851: Denial-of-service in Network packet filtering framework.

A missing check when using Network packet filtering framework
(Netfilter) could lead to an out-of-bounds access. A local attacker
could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service or facilitate an
attack.

* CVE-2024-26852: Privilege escalation when using IPV6 multipath routes.

A logic error when using IPV6 multipath routes could lead to a
use-after-free. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate
privilege.

* CVE-2024-26855: Denial-of-service in Intel Ethernet Connection E800 Series driver.

A logic error in Intel Ethernet Connection E800 Series driver could lead
to a NULL pointer dereference A local attacker can exploit this flaw to
cause a denial-of-service.

Missing check for the HSR tag after the Ethernet header in the
High-availability Seamless Redundancy networking stack can lead
to accessing uninitialised memory. An attacker (local or remote)
can exploit this flaw to extract sensitive information from the
kernel memory or facilitate an attack.

* CVE-2024-26870: Denial-of-service when listing xattr in NFS client driver.

A logic error when listing xattr in NFS client driver could lead to a
kernel assert. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-
of-service.

* CVE-2024-26875: Use-after-free in Hauppauge WinTV-PVR USB2 driver.

A race can happen in the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR USB2 driver between
context disconnect and check in another thread, leading to a
use-after-free. A local attacker can exploit this flaw to cause a
denial-of-service, privilege escalation, or run arbitrary code.

* CVE-2024-26882: Information leak in IP tunneling stack.

after-free. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause memory
corruption.

* CVE-2024-26901: Information leak in file handle syscalls.

lead to an information leak. A local attacker can exploit this flaw to
extract sensitive information from the kernel memory or aid in other
types of attacks.

* CVE-2024-27403: Memory corruption in Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter).

Incorrect reference counting when using Network packet filtering
framework (Netfilter) driver could lead to a use-after-free. A local
attacker could use this flaw to cause memory corruption.

* CVE-2024-27414: Out-of-bounds write in core net subsystem.

A logical error when handling rtnetlink RTM_SETLINK messages (which
