   An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update for the Linux Kernel 5.3.18-150200_24_134 fixes several issues.

   The following security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2021-39698: Fixed a possible memory corruption due to a use after
     free in aio_poll_complete_work. This could lead to local escalation of
     privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. (bsc#1196956)
   - CVE-2022-39189: Fixed a bug in the x86 KVM subsystem which allows
     unprivileged guest users to compromise the guest kernel because TLB
     flush operations are mishandled (bnc#1203066).
