• CVE-2023-4921: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability in the QFQ network scheduler which could be exploited to achieve local privilege escalatio (bsc#1215275).
• CVE-2023-4004: Fixed improper element removal netfilter nft_set_pipapo (bsc#1213812).
• CVE-2023-4622: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability in the Unix domain sockets component which could be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation (bsc#1215117).
• CVE-2023-4623: Fixed a use-after-free issue in the HFSC network scheduler which could be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation (bsc#1215115).
• CVE-2020-36766: Fixed a potential information leak in in the CEC driver (bsc#1215299).

• CVE-2023-2177: Fixed a null pointer dereference issue in the sctp network protocol which could allow a user to crash the system (bsc#1210643).
• CVE-2023-4881: Fixed a out-of-bounds write flaw in the netfilter subsystem that could lead to potential information disclosure or a denial of service (bsc#1215221).

• CVE-2023-1192: Fixed use-after-free in cifs_demultiplex_thread() (bsc#1208995).

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

• bnx2x: new flag for track HW resource allocation (bsc#1202845 bsc#1215322).
• check-for-config-changes: ignore BUILTIN_RETURN_ADDRESS_STRIPS_PAC (bsc#1214380). gcc7 on SLE 15 does not support this while later gcc does.
• locking/rwsem: Disable reader optimistic spinning (bnc#1176588).
• mkspec: Allow unsupported KMPs (bsc#1214386)
• scsi: qedf: Add synchronization between I/O completions and abort (bsc#1210658).
