Summary
It was discovered a race condition existed in the Unix domain socket
implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-0920)
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:
- HID subsystem;
- Media drivers;
(CVE-2024-50302, CVE-2024-53104)
