Summary
Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not
properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38096)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- GPU drivers;
- Network drivers;
- SCSI subsystem;
- Ext4 file system;
- Bluetooth subsystem;
- Memory management;
- Amateur Radio drivers;
- Network traffic control;
- Sun RPC protocol;
- VMware vSockets driver;
