    Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly track memory allocations for anonymous VMA
    mappings in some situations, leading to potential data structure reuse. A local attacker could use this to
    cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42703)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the instruction emulator of the Linux kernel on Arm
    64-bit systems. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2022-20422)

    It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle virtual CPUs
    without APICs in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service
    (host system crash). (CVE-2022-2153)

    Hao Sun and Jiacheng Xu discovered that the NILFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel contained
    a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
    crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2978)

    Abhishek Shah discovered a race condition in the PF_KEYv2 implementation in the Linux kernel. A local
    attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive
    information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-3028)

    It was discovered that the video4linux driver for Empia based TV cards in the Linux kernel did not
    properly perform reference counting in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local
    attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2022-3239)

    It was discovered that a memory leak existed in the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel. A local
    attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2022-3524)

    It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to
    a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
    crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3564)

    It was discovered that the ISDN implementation of the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free
    vulnerability. A privileged user could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
    execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3565)

    It was discovered that the TCP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a data race condition. An
    attacker could possibly use this to cause undesired behaviors. (CVE-2022-3566)

    It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel contained a data race condition. An
    attacker could possibly use this to cause undesired behaviors. (CVE-2022-3567)

    It was discovered that the Realtek RTL8152 USB Ethernet adapter driver in the Linux kernel did not
    properly handle certain error conditions. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a specially
    crafted USB device to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2022-3594)

    It was discovered that a null pointer dereference existed in the NILFS2 file system implementation in the
    Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-3621)

    It was discovered that the IDT 77252 ATM PCI device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly remove any
    pending timers during device exit, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could
    possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3635)

    It was discovered that the Netlink Transformation (XFRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a
    reference counting error. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
    (CVE-2022-36879)

    Xingyuan Mo and Gengjia Chen discovered that the Promise SuperTrak EX storage controller driver in the
    Linux kernel did not properly handle certain structures. A local attacker could potentially use this to
    expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-40768)
