escalation (CVE-2021-3609)
* kernel: Improper handling of VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP vmas in KVM can bypass RO
checks (CVE-2021-22543)
* kernel: out-of-bounds write in xt_compat_target_from_user() in
net/netfilter/x_tables.c (CVE-2021-22555)
* kernel: race condition for removal of the HCI controller (CVE-2021-32399)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.
Bug Fix(es):
