* kernel: nfsd buffer overflow by RPC message over TCP with garbage data (CVE-2022-43945)
* hw: cpu: incomplete clean-up of multi-core shared buffers (aka SBDR) (CVE-2022-21123)
* hw: cpu: incomplete clean-up of microarchitectural fill buffers (aka SBDS) (CVE-2022-21125)
* hw: cpu: incomplete clean-up in specific special register write operations (aka DRPW) (CVE-2022-21166)
* hw: cpu: AMD: RetBleed Arbitrary Speculative Code Execution with Return Instructions (CVE-2022-23816, CVE-2022-29900)
* hw: cpu: AMD: Branch Type Confusion (non-retbleed) (CVE-2022-23825)
* hw: cpu: Intel: Post-barrier Return Stack Buffer Predictions (CVE-2022-26373)
* hw: cpu: Intel: RetBleed Arbitrary Speculative Code Execution with Return Instructions (CVE-2022-29901)
