DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2021-31916: Out-Of-Bounds memory write in Device Mapper subsystem.

A logic error whilst listing devices may cause an out-of-bounds memory
write. An attacker with CAP_SYS_ADMIN permissions could use this to
cause a denial-of-service.

Orabug: 32860494

* CVE-2020-12352: Information leak when handling AMP packets in Bluetooth stack.

A missing zeroing of stack memory when handling AMP packets in Bluetooth
stack could lead to an information leak. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to leak information about running kernel and facilitate an attack.

Orabug: 32021289

* CVE-2020-36386: Out-of-bounds read in Bluetooth HCI event subsystem.

Insufficient packet validation in the Bluetooth Host Controller Interface
event packet handler can cause out-of-bounds reads with a potential for
denial-of-service or leaking of privileged data.

Orabug: 33013890

* CVE-2021-33034: Use-after-free when tearing down bluetooth HCI channel.

A race condition in the bluetooth Host Controller Interface code could
result in a use-after-free. A malicious device might exploit this to
write data to an arbitrary kernel address, potentially allowing code
execution under control of the device.

Orabug: 32912103

* Improve Machine Check Exception handling.

On Machine Check Exception, collect error data in crashdump.
