A race condition existed in the atheros ath9k wifi driver in the linux kernel.
The bpf verifier in the linux kernel missed possible mispredicted branches due to type confusion, allowing a side-channel attack.
The bpf subsystem in the linux kernel did not properly protect against speculative store bypass (ssb) side-channel attacks in some situations.
The tracing subsystem in the linux kernel did not properly keep track of per-cpu ring buffer state.
The option usb high speed mobile device driver in the linux kernel did not properly handle error conditions.
The overlay file system in the linux kernel did not restrict private clones in some situations.
The btrfs file system in the linux kernel did not properly handle removing a non-existent device id.
The qualcomm ipc router protocol implementation in the linux kernel did not properly validate metadata in some situations.
The virtual terminal (vt) device implementation in the linux kernel contained a race condition in its ioctl handling that led to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability.
The linux kernel did not properly account for the memory usage of certain ipc objects.
The bpf subsystem in the linux kernel contained an integer overflow in its hash table implementation.
The ext4 file system in the linux kernel contained a race condition when writing xattrs to an inode.
The 6pack network protocol driver in the linux kernel did not properly perform validation checks.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
