A locking error when using the SMB3 and CIFS driver could lead to a deadlock. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service. * CVE-2024-42283: Remote information leak in TCP/IP networking stack. A missing variable initialization when using the TCP/IP networking stack could lead to exposure of kernel memory to userspace. A remote attacker could use this flaw to extract sensitive information. * CVE-2024-46824: Denial-of-service in IOMMU subsystem. A missing check when using the IOMMU subsystem IOMMU_HWPT_INVALIDATE ioctl could lead to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service. * CVE-2024-46858: Privilege escalation in Multipath TCP driver. A logic error when using the Multipath TCP driver could lead to a use-after-free. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate privileges. * CVE-2024-49880: Denial-of-service in The Extended 4 (ext4) filesystem driver.
