Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-36402)

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: - ARM64 architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Android drivers; - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers; - ATM drivers; - Drivers core; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Device frequency scaling framework; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - IRQ chip drivers; - ISDN/mISDN subsystem; - LED subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - EEPROM drivers; - VMware VMCI Driver; - MMC subsystem; - Network drivers; - Near Field Communication (NFC) drivers; - NVME drivers; - Device tree and open firmware driver; - Parport drivers; - PCI subsystem; - Pin controllers subsystem; - Remote Processor subsystem; - S/390 drivers; - SCSI drivers; - QCOM SoC drivers; - Direct Digital Synthesis drivers; - TTY drivers; - Userspace I/O drivers; - DesignWare USB3 driver; - USB subsystem; - BTRFS file system; - File systems infrastructure; - Ext4 file system; - F2FS file system; - JFS file system; - NILFS2 file system; - BPF subsystem; - Core kernel; - DMA mapping infrastructure; - Tracing infrastructure; - Radix Tree data structure library; - Kernel userspace event delivery library; - Objagg library; - Memory management; - Amateur Radio drivers; - Bluetooth subsystem; - CAN network layer; - Networking core; - Ethtool driver; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - IUCV driver; - KCM (Kernel Connection Multiplexor) sockets driver; - MAC80211 subsystem; - Netfilter; - Network traffic control; - SCTP protocol; - Sun RPC protocol; - TIPC protocol; - TLS protocol; - Wireless networking; - AppArmor security module; - Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel framework; - SoC audio core drivers; - USB sound devices; (CVE-2024-43894, CVE-2024-46737, CVE-2024-46828, CVE-2024-42244, CVE-2024-46723, CVE-2024-41073, CVE-2024-46756, CVE-2024-42288, CVE-2024-46840, CVE-2024-46771, CVE-2024-46757, CVE-2024-43860, CVE-2024-46747, CVE-2024-41017, CVE-2024-42246, CVE-2024-44988, CVE-2024-42281, CVE-2024-36484, CVE-2024-43856, CVE-2024-47668, CVE-2024-46759, CVE-2024-46744, CVE-2024-42289, CVE-2024-42131, CVE-2024-46679, CVE-2024-42304, CVE-2024-46818, CVE-2024-43858, CVE-2024-44960, CVE-2024-45028, CVE-2024-26885, CVE-2024-46676, CVE-2024-46780, CVE-2024-42310, CVE-2024-44987, CVE-2024-41090, CVE-2024-44954, CVE-2024-45026, CVE-2024-42285, CVE-2023-52614, CVE-2024-27051, CVE-2024-43880, CVE-2024-43839, CVE-2024-43884, CVE-2024-42311, CVE-2024-43893, CVE-2024-41072, CVE-2024-41091, CVE-2024-46758, CVE-2024-41022, CVE-2024-46745, CVE-2024-42305, CVE-2024-46673, CVE-2024-42284, CVE-2024-46844, CVE-2024-46677, CVE-2024-45025, CVE-2024-43861, CVE-2024-43914, CVE-2024-46783, CVE-2024-41012, CVE-2024-44999, CVE-2024-44946, CVE-2024-42276, CVE-2024-46740, CVE-2024-42295, CVE-2024-44947, CVE-2024-41059, CVE-2024-26669, CVE-2024-38602, CVE-2024-42306, CVE-2023-52918, CVE-2024-42297, CVE-2024-42229, CVE-2024-43853, CVE-2024-45006, CVE-2024-44998, CVE-2024-42283, CVE-2024-44952, CVE-2024-46761, CVE-2024-43841, CVE-2024-44944, CVE-2024-42313, CVE-2024-45008, CVE-2024-46714, CVE-2024-41065, CVE-2024-43883, CVE-2024-43867, CVE-2024-42286, CVE-2024-43879, CVE-2024-43846, CVE-2024-42280, CVE-2024-43854, CVE-2021-47212, CVE-2024-35848, CVE-2024-41020, CVE-2024-41068, CVE-2024-45021, CVE-2024-41098, CVE-2024-44965, CVE-2024-43890, CVE-2024-45003, CVE-2024-44969, CVE-2024-41011, CVE-2024-46738, CVE-2024-41071, CVE-2024-26800, CVE-2024-46721, CVE-2024-42292, CVE-2024-41081, CVE-2024-44948, CVE-2023-52531, CVE-2024-26891, CVE-2024-26641, CVE-2024-42287, CVE-2024-46722, CVE-2024-41042, CVE-2024-46675, CVE-2024-46743, CVE-2024-42259, CVE-2024-41015, CVE-2024-43908, CVE-2024-46719, CVE-2024-43871, CVE-2024-46739, CVE-2024-42301, CVE-2024-47659, CVE-2024-42271, CVE-2024-26668, CVE-2024-43835, CVE-2024-46829, CVE-2024-47667, CVE-2024-44995, CVE-2024-47669, CVE-2024-38611, CVE-2024-40929, CVE-2024-46815, CVE-2024-43830, CVE-2024-42309, CVE-2024-41063, CVE-2024-46782, CVE-2024-46777, CVE-2024-42265, CVE-2024-46781, CVE-2024-26607, CVE-2024-41064, CVE-2024-46685, CVE-2024-43882, CVE-2024-44935, CVE-2024-46800, CVE-2024-46822, CVE-2024-46755, CVE-2024-46817, CVE-2024-43829, CVE-2024-46798, CVE-2024-46689, CVE-2024-42290, CVE-2024-46750, CVE-2024-26640, CVE-2024-47663, CVE-2024-41070)
