Summary
Demi Marie Obenour and Simon Gaiser discovered that several Xen para-
virtualization device frontends did not properly restrict the access rights
of device backends. An attacker could possibly use a malicious Xen backend
to gain access to memory pages of a guest VM or cause a denial of service
in the guest. (CVE-2022-23041)
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:
- Hardware crypto device drivers;
- GPU drivers;
- IIO subsystem;
- Media drivers;
- Network drivers;
- SCSI subsystem;
- SPI subsystem;
