It was discovered that Drupal incorrectly sanitized uploaded filenames. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2020-13671)

or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-28948, CVE-2020-28949)
This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Linux Kernel. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The ZDI has assigned a CVSS rating of 6.5.
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
in the Linux kernel, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A
privileged local attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24860)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
