3. Description:

This is a kernel live patch module which is automatically loaded by the RPM

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: Use After Free in unix_gc() which could result in a local
privilege escalation (CVE-2021-0920)

* kernel: local privilege escalation by exploiting the fsconfig syscall
parameter leads to container breakout (CVE-2021-4154)

* kernel: possible privileges escalation due to missing TLB flush
(CVE-2022-0330)

* kernel: remote stack overflow via kernel panic on systems using TIPC may
lead to DoS (CVE-2022-0435)

* kernel: cgroups v1 release_agent feature may allow privilege escalation
(CVE-2022-0492)

* kernel: failing usercopy allows for use-after-free exploitation
(CVE-2022-22942)
