(CVE-2021-4083)

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

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

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
