DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2022-43945: Out-of-bounds memory access in NFSD.

A logic error in NFSD when a small RPC Call message arrives in an
oversized RPC record can lead to a buffer overflow. A remote attacker
could use this flaw for a denial-of-service or privilege escalation.

* CVE-2022-2873: Out-of-bounds memory access in iSMT.

A missing sanity check for a user controlled value in the Intel's iSMT
SMBus host controller driver when processing an SMBus command may lead
to a memory corruption by writing past the end of a buffer. A local
user could use this flaw for denial-of-service or code execution.

* CVE-2022-41222: Use-after-free in MMU-based Paged Memory Management
Support.

A race condition flaw in MMU-based Paged Memory Management Support due
to improper locking could result in use-after-free when moving page

execution.
