description: |
  This kernel-linus update is based on upstream 5.15.26 and fixes at least
  the following security issues:

  A vulnerability in the Linux kernel since version 5.8 due to uninitialized
  variables. It enables anybody to write arbitrary data to arbitrary files,
  even if the file is O_RDONLY, immutable or on a MS_RDONLY filesystem.
  It can be used to inject code into arbitrary processes (CVE-2022-0847).

  An issue was discovered in drivers/usb/gadget/composite.c in the Linux
  kernel before 5.16.10. The USB Gadget subsystem lacks certain validation
  of interface OS descriptor requests (ones with a large array index and
  ones associated with NULL function pointer retrieval). Memory corruption
  might occur (CVE-2022-25258).

  An issue was discovered in drivers/usb/gadget/function/rndis.c in the
  Linux kernel before 5.16.10. The RNDIS USB gadget lacks validation of
  the size of the RNDIS_MSG_SET command. Attackers can obtain sensitive
  information from kernel memory (CVE-2022-25375).

  net/netfilter/nf_dup_netdev.c in the Linux kernel 5.4 through 5.6.10
  allows local users to gain privileges because of a heap out-of-bounds
  write. This is related to nf_tables_offload (CVE-2022-25636).

  For other upstream fixes, see the referenced changelogs.

In the "Core Updates Testing" repository, I'm seeing kernel version 5.15.27 instead of the mentioned above 5.15.26. Please clarify if the 5.15.27 are to be tested or is there an issue that needs to be corrected.

That is odd.  Pasting the list into qarepo and updating downloads the 5.15.26 RPMs and installation continues to run smoothly after that.

Continuing from comment 3.
 rpm -q kernel-linus-latest
kernel-linus-latest-5.15.26-1.mga8

No menu entry at reboot so had to run `sudo drakboot --boot` and reboot.
Everything running normally in Mate except bluetooth - had to remove audio device and repeat search and connect sequence to recover it.  This happens now and again with kernel tests.  Networking OK, desktop applications.

Leaving this to run for a day or two.

Those are new test-kernels for the Spectre-BHB / BHI issue that went public yesterday, but this report is about kernel-*linus*-5.15.26

Thanks for the test, 

Flushing out due to the critical security issue...
