DESCRIPTION
* CVE-2021-29154: Code execution in eBPF JIT compiler.
Improper computation validation of branch displacements in eBPF JIT
compiler could lead to memory corruption. A local attacker with
the ability to insert eBPF instructions could use this flaw to cause
a denial-of-service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
* CVE-2021-32399: Code execution in the Bluetooth subsystem when removing an HCI controller.
A race condition flaw in the Bluetooth subsystem could lead to
a use-after-free of slab objects during HCI controller removal.
An local user could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code.
* CVE-2021-29650: Denial-of-service in Netfilter due to incorrect memory barrier.
Lack of a full memory barrier upon the assignment of a new table value
in the Netfilter subsystem could result in a system crash. A local user
could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.
* CVE-2021-22555: Privilege escalation in Netfilter due to out-of-bounds memory write.
A heap out-of-bounds write in netfilter could allow an attacker to gain
privileges or cause a denial-of-service.
