Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information leaks.

CVE-2021-3759
It was discovered that the memory cgroup controller did not account for kernel memory allocated for IPC objects. A local user could use this for denial of service (memory exhaustion).

CVE-2022-3169
It was discovered that the NVMe host driver did not prevent a concurrent reset and subsystem reset. A local user with access to an NVMe device could use this to cause a denial of service (device
disconnect or crash).

CVE-2022-3435
Gwangun Jung reported a flaw in the IPv4 forwarding subsystem which would lead to an out-of-bounds read. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability in any user namespace could possibly exploit this to cause a denial of service (crash).

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-2022-3628
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-2022-4139
A flaw was discovered in the i915 graphics driver. On gen12 "Xe" GPUs it failed to flush TLBs when necessary, resulting in GPU programs retaining access to freed memory. A local user with access to the GPU could exploit this to leak sensitive information, cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or likely 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-2022-41849
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-2022-47518, CVE-2022-47519, CVE-2022-47521
Several flaws were discovered in the wilc1000 Wi-Fi driver which could lead to a heap-based buffer overflow. A nearby attacker could exploit these for denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for remote code execution.

CVE-2022-47520
A flaw was discovered in the wilc1000 Wi-Fi driver which could lead to a heap-based buffer overflow. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability over such a Wi-Fi device could exploit this for denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or possibly for privilege escalation.
