Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

Security Fix(es):

• kernel: ipvlan: out-of-bounds write caused by unclear skb->cb (CVE-2023-3090)
• kernel: UAF in nftables when nft_set_lookup_global triggered after handling named and anonymous sets in batch requests (CVE-2023-3390)
• kernel: net/sched: cls_fw component can be exploited as result of failure in tcf_change_indev function (CVE-2023-3776)
• kernel: netfilter: use-after-free due to improper element removal in nft_pipapo_remove() (CVE-2023-4004)
• kernel: nf_tables: stack-out-of-bounds-read in nft_byteorder_eval() (CVE-2023-35001)
• kernel: cls_flower: out-of-bounds write in fl_set_geneve_opt() (CVE-2023-35788)
• kernel: bluetooth: Unauthorized management command execution (CVE-2023-2002)
• hw: amd: Cross-Process Information Leak (CVE-2023-20593)
