Summary
CVE-2022-1158 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.67.1-4
Details

A flaw was found in KVM. When updating a guest's page table entry, vmpgoff was improperly used as the offset to get the page's pfn. As vaddr and vmpgoff are controllable by user-mode processes, this flaw allows unprivileged local users on the host to write outside the userspace region and potentially corrupt the kernel, resulting in a denial of service condition.
