This kernel update is based on upstream 5.15.58 and fixes at least the
following security issues:
Kernel lockdown bypass when UEFI secure boot is disabled / unavailable
and IMA appraisal is enabled (CVE-2022-21505).
Aliases in the branch predictor may cause some AMD processors to predict
the wrong branch type potentially leading to information disclosure
(CVE-2022-23825).
Mis-trained branch predictions for return instructions may allow arbitrary
speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent
conditions (CVE-2022-29900, RetBleed).
Intel microprocessor generations 6 to 8 are affected by a new Spectre
variant that is able to bypass their retpoline mitigation in the kernel
to leak arbitrary data. An attacker with unprivileged user access can
hijack return instructions to achieve arbitrary speculative code execution
under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions (CVE-2022-29901).
The Linux kernel before 5.18.13 lacks a certain clear operation for the
