DESCRIPTION
* CVE-2022-3564: Use-after-free in Bluetooth L2CAP.
A race condition in Bluetooth L2CAP when a socket buffer is queued and
dequeued by two flows running in parallel can lead to a use-after-free.
A remote attacker could use this flaw for a denial-of-service or
for privilege escalation.
* CVE-2022-3524: Memory-leak in IPv6 networking.
A race condition in IPv6 networking when converting an IPv6 socket into
IPv4 could lead to a memory-leak. A local user could use this flaw to
exhaust the system's memory and cause denial-of-service.
* CVE-2022-42896: Use-after-free in Bluetooth L2CAP.
A flaw in Bluetooth L2CAP protocol when accepting incoming connection
requests could lead to a use-after-free. A remote attacker could use
this flaw for a denial-of-service or for privilege escalation.
* CVE-2022-42895: Information disclosure in Bluetooth subsystem.
A missing sanity check when parsing a configuration request in Bluetooth
L2CAP implementation could result in out-of-bounds memory access.
A physically proximate attacker could use this flaw for information
disclosure.
* CVE-2022-3640: Use-after-free in Bluetooth subsystem.
A logic flaw in receive data path of the Bluetooth subsystem could
result in a use-after-free. A local user could use this flaw to cause
a denial-of-service or execute arbitrary code.
* CVE-2022-3628: Code execution in Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver.
A missing sanity check when setting up the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi
driver could result in out-of-bounds access. A physically proximate
user could use this flaw to craft a malicious USB device and cause
a denial-of-service or execute arbitrary code.
* CVE-2022-3623: Information disclosure in hugetlb.
A race condition in hugetlb when multiple threads are looking up
CONT-PTE/PMD pages could lead to page table inconsistencies. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial-of-service or expose sensitive
information.
* CVE-2022-3543: Denial-of-service in Unix domain sockets.
Improperly released resources in the AF_UNIX sockets when closing
sockets with unconsumed out-of-band buffers could lead to a memory leak.
A local user could use this flaw to exhaust kernel memory and cause de
denial-of-service.
* CVE-2022-3619: Denial-of-Service in Bluetooth L2CAP.
Improperly released resources in Bluetooth L2CAP when handling
fragmented frames could result in a memory leak. A remote user could
use this flaw to exhaust the kernel memory and cause a
denial-of-service.
