8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1252)
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the Linux kernel’s Ext4 File System in how a user triggers several file operations simultaneously with the overlay FS usage. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.
9) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52489)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the section_deactivate() function in mm/sparse.c. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.
10) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2201)

The vulnerability exists due to native branch history injection on x86 systems. A malicious guest can infer the contents of arbitrary host memory, including memory assigned to other guests and compromise the affected system.
11) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3596)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm in RADIUS Protocol. A remote user can perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack and gain access to target system.
12) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5535)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the SSL_select_next_proto() function when using NPN. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9341)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. When FIPS mode is enabled on a system, container runtimes may incorrectly handle certain file paths due to improper validation in the containers/common Go library. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit symbolic links and trick the system into mounting sensitive host directories inside a container.
14) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9676)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue when running a malicious image using an automatically assigned user namespace (`--userns=auto` in Podman and Buildah). A local user can create a symbolic link to an arbitrary file on the system, force the library to read it and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
15) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26671)
