<p>An update that solves two vulnerabilities can now be installed.</p>
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>This update for the Linux Kernel 5.3.18-150200_24_163 fixes several issues.</p>
<p>The following security issues were fixed:</p>
<ul>
<li>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#1215442).</li>
<li>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#1215519)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Patch Instructions:</h2>
