Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vsock/virtio: Initialization of the dangling pointer occurring in vsk->trans During loopback communication, a dangling pointer can be created in
vsk->trans, potentially leading to a Use-After-Free condition. This
issue is resolved by initializing vsk->trans to NULL.

This issue is resolved by initializing vsk->trans to NULL.
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. Zheng Wang discovered a use-after-free in the Renesas Ethernet AVB driver in the Linux kernel during device removal. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
