   An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.180-94_161 fixes several issues.

   The following security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2022-1011: A use-after-free flaw was found in the FUSE filesystem in
     the way a user triggers write(). This flaw allowed a local user to gain
     unauthorized access to data from the FUSE filesystem, resulting in
     privilege escalation. (bsc#1197344)
   - CVE-2021-39713: Fixed a race condition in the network scheduling
     subsystem which could lead to a use-after-free. (bsc#1197211)
   - CVE-2021-28688: The fix for XSA-365 includes initialization of pointers
     such that subsequent cleanup code wouldn't use uninitialized or stale
     values. This initialization went too far and may under certain
     conditions also overwrite pointers which are in need of cleaning up. The
     lack of cleanup would result in leaking persistent grants. The leak in
     turn would prevent fully cleaning up after a respective guest has died,
     leaving around zombie domains. All Linux versions having the fix for
     XSA-365 applied are vulnerable. XSA-365 was classified to affect
     versions back to at least 3.11 (bsc#1182294)
