Description

This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3104)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the lkdtm_ARRAY_BOUNDS() function in drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3105)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the uapi_finalize() function in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_uapi.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3106)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the ef100_update_stats() function in drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/ef100_nic.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3107)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the netvsc_get_ethtool_stats() function in drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3108)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to unchecked return value within the kfd_parse_subtype_iolink() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_crat.c. A local user can crash the kernel.


6) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3111)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the free_charger_irq() function in drivers/power/supply/wm8350_power.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3112)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the amvdec_set_canvases() function in drivers/staging/media/meson/vdec/vdec_helpers.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3113)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the mtk_vcodec_fw_vpu_init() function in drivers/media/platform/mtk-vcodec/mtk_vcodec_fw_vpu.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3115)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the malidp_crtc_reset() function in drivers/gpu/drm/arm/malidp_crtc.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
