DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2021-27363, CVE-2021-27364, CVE-2021-27365: Priviledge escalation in iSCSI subsystem.

Multiple logic errors failing to check some messages and sysfs
attribute sizes may cause a buffer overflow. A local attacker could
use this to cause a priviledge escalation.

Orabug: 32603381

* CVE-2021-26708: Privilege escalation in Virtual Socket protocol due to bad locking.

Wrong locking in Virtual Socket protocol implementation could lead to
a race condition. A local user could use this flaw for privilege
escalation.

* CVE-2020-27152: Denial-of-service in virtualized IOAPIC driver.

A logic error when handling interrupt in the virtualized IOAPIC driver
could lead to an infinite loop on the hypervisor. A local attacker from
a guest could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.

* CVE-2021-3347: Privilege escalation in the Fast Userspace Mutexes.

A flaw in the Fast Userspace Mutexes implementation could lead to
a use-after-free. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system
or escalate their privileges.

* CVE-2020-28374: Access control bypass when reading or writing TCM devices.

Lack of validation against the session's list when matching a Target Core
Mod (TCM) device during an eXtended COPY (XCOPY) operation leads to access
control bypass. Attackers with access to one device could read and write
from/to other devices they should not have access to.
