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-2022-28390).

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 (CVE-2022-29582).

Other fixes in this update:

• gpio: Request interrupts after IRQ is initialized
• net: atlantic: invert deep par in pm functions, preventing null derefs
• xtables-addons have been updated to 3.20
