CVE-2022-42895 CVE-2022-42896 CVE-2022-43750
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information
leaks.
CVE-2022-2978
"butt3rflyh4ck", Hao Sun, and Jiacheng Xu reported a flaw in the
nilfs2 filesystem driver which can lead to a use-after-free. A
local use might be able to exploit this to cause a denial of
service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege
escalation.
CVE-2022-3521
The syzbot tool found a race condition in the KCM subsystem
which could lead to a crash.
This subsystem is not enabled in Debian's official kernel
configurations.
CVE-2022-3524
The syzbot tool found a race condition in the IPv6 stack which
could lead to a memory leak. A local user could exploit this to
cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).
CVE-2022-3564
A flaw was discovered in the Bluetooh L2CAP subsystem which
would lead to a use-after-free. This might be exploitable
to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
possibly for privilege escalation.
CVE-2022-3565
A flaw was discovered in the mISDN driver which would lead to a
use-after-free. This might be exploitable to cause a denial of
service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege
escalation.
CVE-2022-3594
Andrew Gaul reported that the r8152 Ethernet driver would log
excessive numbers of messages in response to network errors. A
remote attacker could possibly exploit this to cause a denial of
service (resource exhaustion).
CVE-2022-3621, CVE-2022-3646
The syzbot tool found flaws in the nilfs2 filesystem driver which
can lead to a null pointer dereference or memory leak. A user
permitted to mount arbitrary filesystem images could use these to
cause a denial of service (crash or resource exhaustion).
CVE-2022-3628
Dokyung Song, Jisoo Jang, and Minsuk Kang reported a potential
heap-based buffer overflow in the brcmfmac Wi-Fi driver. A user
able to connect a malicious USB device could exploit this to cause
a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for
privilege escalation.
CVE-2022-3640
A flaw was discovered in the Bluetooh L2CAP subsystem which
would lead to a use-after-free. This might be exploitable
to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
possibly for privilege escalation.
CVE-2022-3643 (XSA-423)
A flaw was discovered in the Xen network backend driver that would
result in it generating malformed packet buffers. If these
packets were forwarded to certain other network devices, a Xen
guest could exploit this to cause a denial of service (crash or
device reset).
CVE-2022-3649
The syzbot tool found flaws in the nilfs2 filesystem driver which
can lead to a use-after-free. A user permitted to mount arbitrary
filesystem images could use these to cause a denial of service
(crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.
CVE-2022-4378
Kyle Zeng found a flaw in procfs that would cause a stack-based
buffer overflow. A local user permitted to write to a sysctl
could use this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory
corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.
CVE-2022-20369
A flaw was found in the v4l2-mem2mem media driver that would lead
to an out-of-bounds write. A local user with access to such a
device could exploit this for privilege escalation.
CVE-2022-29901
Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi reported that for Intel
processors (Intel Core generation 6, 7 and 8), protections against
speculative branch target injection attacks were insufficient in
some circumstances, which may allow arbitrary speculative code
execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions.

CVE-2022-40768
"hdthky" reported that the stex SCSI adapter driver did not fully
initialise a structure that is copied to user-space. A local user
with access to such a device could exploit this to leak sensitive
information.
CVE-2022-41849
A race condition was discovered in the smscufx graphics driver,
which could lead to a use-after-free. A user able to remove the
physical device while also accessing its device node could exploit
this to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or
possibly for privilege escalation.
CVE-2022-41850
A race condition was discovered in the hid-roccat input driver,
which could lead to a use-after-free. A local user able to access
such a device could exploit this to cause a denial of service
(crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.
CVE-2022-42328, CVE-2022-42329 (XSA-424)
Yang Yingliang reported that the Xen network backend driver did
not use the proper function to free packet buffers in one case,
which could lead to a deadlock. A Xen guest could exploit this to
cause a denial of service (hang).
CVE-2022-42895
Tamás Koczka reported a flaw in the Bluetooh L2CAP subsystem
that would result in reading uninitialised memory. A nearby
attacker able to make a Bluetooth connection could exploit
this to leak sensitive information.
CVE-2022-42896
Tamás Koczka reported flaws in the Bluetooh L2CAP subsystem that
can lead to a use-after-free. A nearby attacker able to make a
Bluetooth SMP connection could exploit this to cause a denial of
service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for remote code
execution.
CVE-2022-43750
The syzbot tool found that the USB monitor (usbmon) driver allowed
user-space programs to overwrite the driver's data structures. A
local user permitted to access a USB monitor device could exploit
this to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or crash) or
possibly for privilege escalation. However, by default only the
root user can access such devices.
For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
4.19.269-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
