x86: KVM: SVM: always update the x2avic msr interception (CVE-2023-5090)
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.
Addition and removal of rules from chain bindings within the same transaction causes leads to use-after-free.
We recommend upgrading past commit f15f29fd4779be8a418b66e9d52979bb6d6c2325. (CVE-2023-5197)
A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Linux Kernel Performance Events (perf) component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.
If perf_read_group() is called while an event's sibling_list is smaller than its child's sibling_list, it can increment or write to memory locations outside of the allocated buffer.
We recommend upgrading past commit 32671e3799ca2e4590773fd0e63aaa4229e50c06. (CVE-2023-5717)
