    subsystem. This issue may have allowed a local user to crash the system or
    potentially escalate their privileges (bsc#1215150).
  * CVE-2023-1206: Fixed a hash collision flaw in the IPv6 connection lookup
    table which could be exploited by network adjacent attackers, increasing CPU
    usage by 95% (bsc#1212703).
  * 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-2023-23454: Fixed a type-confusion in the CBQ network scheduler
    (bsc#1207036).
  * 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-2023-1859: Fixed a use-after-free flaw in Xen transport for 9pfs which
    could be exploited to crash the system (bsc#1210169).
  * 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).
