   An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update for the Linux Kernel 5.3.18-24_53_4 fixes several issues.

   The following security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2021-0941: In bpf_skb_change_head of filter.c, there is a possible
     out of bounds read due to a use after free. This could lead to local
     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User
     interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1192045).
   - CVE-2021-20322: Make the ipv4 and ipv6 ICMP exception caches less
     predictive to avoid information leaks about UDP ports in use.
