Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Linux Kernel, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or bypass security checks.
The first issue is caused due to the use of "RTA_MAX" as an array size instead of "RTN_MAX", which may lead to a denial of service within the "dn_fib_props" [dn_fib.c] and "fib_props" [fib_semantics.c] functions.
The second vulnerability is caused by an error in the "xfer_secondary_pool()" [drivers/char/random.c] function during reseed operations, which could potentially be exploited to bypass security restrictions.
