some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2021-4155)

It was discovered that the AMD Radeon GPU driver in the Linux kernel did
not properly validate writes in the debugfs file system. A privileged
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-42327)

Sushma Venkatesh Reddy discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver in
the Linux kernel did not perform a GPU TLB flush in some situations. A
local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-0330)

Samuel Page discovered that the Transparent Inter-Process Communication
(TIPC) protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a stack-based
buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash) for systems that have a TIPC bearer configured.
(CVE-2022-0435)

It was discovered that the KVM implementation for s390 systems in the Linux
kernel did not properly prevent memory operations on PVM guests that were
in non-protected mode. A local attacker could use this to obtain
unauthorized memory write access. (CVE-2022-0516)

It was discovered that the ICMPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel did
not properly deallocate memory in certain situations. A remote attacker
could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).
