An update that solves nine vulnerabilities and has one security fix can now be
installed.

## Description:

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 RT kernel was updated to receive various
security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

  * CVE-2023-2163: Fixed an incorrect verifier pruning in BPF that could lead to
    unsafe code paths being incorrectly marked as safe, resulting in arbitrary
    read/write in kernel memory, lateral privilege escalation, and container
    escape. (bsc#1215518)
  * CVE-2023-3777: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability in netfilter: nf_tables
    component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.
    (bsc#1215095)
  * CVE-2023-34324: Fixed a possible deadlock in Linux kernel event handling.
    (bsc#1215745).
  * CVE-2023-39189: Fixed a flaw in the Netfilter subsystem that could allow a
    local privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read,
    leading to a crash or information disclosure. (bsc#1216046)
  * CVE-2023-3111: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability in prepare_to_relocate
    in fs/btrfs/relocation.c (bsc#1212051).
  * CVE-2023-39194: Fixed an out of bounds read in the XFRM subsystem
    (bsc#1215861).
  * CVE-2023-39193: Fixed an out of bounds read in the xtables subsystem
    (bsc#1215860).
  * CVE-2023-39192: Fixed an out of bounds read in the netfilter (bsc#1215858).
  * CVE-2023-42754: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in the IPv4 stack that
    could lead to denial of service (bsc#1215467).

The following non-security bugs were fixed:

  * nvme-fc: Prevent null pointer dereference in nvme_fc_io_getuuid()
    (bsc#1214842).
