- gzip,xz-utils ([CVE-2022-1271](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1271))

#### Bug fixes:

- GCE: Restored oem-gce.service functionality on GCP ([coreos-overlay#1813](https://github.com/flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay/pull/1813))
- Skipped starting `ensure-sysext.service` if `systemd-sysext.service` won't be started, to prevent reporting a dependency failure ([Flatcar#710](https://github.com/flatcar-linux/Flatcar/issues/710))
- Added a remount action as `systemd-sysext.service` drop-in unit to restore the OEM partition mount after the overlay mounts in `/usr` are done ([init#69](https://github.com/flatcar-linux/init/pull/69))
- Added pahole to developer container, without it kernel modules built against /usr/src/linux may fail to probe with an 'invalid relocation target' error ([coreos-overlay#1839](https://github.com/flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay/pull/1839))

#### Changes:

- GCE: Enabled GVE kernel driver, which adds support for Google Virtual NIC on GCP ([coreos-overlay#1802](https://github.com/flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay/pull/1802))
- Enabled `CONFIG_INTEL_RAPL` on AMD64 Kernel config to compile `intel_rapl_common` module in order to allow power monitoring on modern Intel processors ([coreos-overlay#1801](https://github.com/flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay/pull/1801))
- Azure: Set up `/etc/hostname` from instance metadata with Afterburn
- AWS EC2: Removed the setup of `/etc/hostname` from the instance metadata because it used a long FQDN but we can just use use the hostname set via DHCP ([Flatcar#707](https://github.com/flatcar-linux/Flatcar/issues/707))
- SDK: Dropped the mantle binaries (kola, ore, etc.) from the SDK, they are now provided by the `ghcr.io/flatcar-linux/mantle` image ([coreos-overlay#1827](https://github.com/flatcar-linux/coreos-overlay/pull/1827), [scripts#275](https://github.com/flatcar-linux/scripts/pull/275))

	encoding/pem in Go before 1.17.9 and 1.18.x before 1.18.1 has a Decode stack overflow via a large amount of PEM data.

* Linux
  * [CVE-2022-28390](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-28390) CVSSv3 score: 7.8(High)  
	ems_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/ems_usb.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double free.
  * [CVE-2022-0168](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-0168) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	
  * [CVE-2022-1158](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1158) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	
  * [CVE-2022-1353](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1353) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	A vulnerability was found in the pfkey_register function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to gain access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information.
  * [CVE-2022-1198](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1198) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	
  * [CVE-2022-28389](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-28389) CVSSv3 score: 7.8(High)  
	mcba_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/mcba_usb.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double free.
  * [CVE-2022-28388](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-28388) CVSSv3 score: 7.8(High)  
	usb_8dev_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/usb_8dev.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double free.
  * [CVE-2022-1516](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1516) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s X.25 set of standardized network protocols functionality in the way a user terminates their session using a simulated Ethernet card and continued usage of this connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system.
  * [CVE-2022-1263](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1263) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	
  * [CVE-2022-29582](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-29582) CVSSv3 score: 7(High)  
	In the Linux kernel before 5.17.3, fs/io_uring.c has a use-after-free due to a race condition in io_uring timeouts. This can be triggered by a local user who has no access to any user namespace; however, the race condition perhaps can only be exploited infrequently.
  * [CVE-2022-1204](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1204) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	
  * [CVE-2022-1205](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1205) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	
  * [CVE-2022-0500](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-0500) CVSSv3 score: 7.8(High)  
	A flaw was found in unrestricted eBPF usage by the BPF_BTF_LOAD, leading to a possible out-of-bounds memory write in the Linux kernel’s BPF subsystem due to the way a user loads BTF. This flaw allows a local user to crash or escalate their privileges on the system.
  * [CVE-2022-23222](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-23222) CVSSv3 score: 7.8(High)  
	kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.14 allows local users to gain privileges because of the availability of pointer arithmetic via certain *_OR_NULL pointer types.

* gzip,xz-utils
  * [CVE-2022-1271](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1271) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	

* libarchive

  * [CVE-2022-23222](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-23222) CVSSv3 score: 7.8(High)  
	kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 5.15.14 allows local users to gain privileges because of the availability of pointer arithmetic via certain *_OR_NULL pointer types.


#### Stable
* Go
  * [CVE-2022-24675](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-24675) CVSSv3 score: 7.5(High)  
	encoding/pem in Go before 1.17.9 and 1.18.x before 1.18.1 has a Decode stack overflow via a large amount of PEM data.

* Linux
  * [CVE-2022-28390](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-28390) CVSSv3 score: 7.8(High)  
	ems_usb_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/ems_usb.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double free.

  * [CVE-2022-1158](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1158) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	
  * [CVE-2022-1353](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1353) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	A vulnerability was found in the pfkey_register function in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to gain access to kernel memory, leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information.

	usb_8dev_start_xmit in drivers/net/can/usb/usb_8dev.c in the Linux kernel through 5.17.1 has a double free.
  * [CVE-2022-1516](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1516) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s X.25 set of standardized network protocols functionality in the way a user terminates their session using a simulated Ethernet card and continued usage of this connection. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system.
  * [CVE-2022-1263](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1263) CVSSv3 score: n/a  
	
  * [CVE-2022-29582](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-29582) CVSSv3 score: 7(High)  
	In the Linux kernel before 5.17.3, fs/io_uring.c has a use-after-free due to a race condition in io_uring timeouts. This can be triggered by a local user who has no access to any user namespace; however, the race condition perhaps can only be exploited infrequently.
