## Description:

This update for the Linux Kernel 5.3.18-150200_24_126 fixes several issues.

The following security issues were fixed:

  * CVE-2022-4744: Fixed double-free that could lead to DoS or privilege
    escalation in TUN/TAP device driver functionality (bsc#1209672).
  * CVE-2023-23455: Fixed a denial of service inside atm_tc_enqueue in
    net/sched/sch_atm.c because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can
    sometimes indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification
    results) (bsc#1207189).
  * CVE-2023-31436: Fixed an out-of-bounds write in qfq_change_class() because
    lmax can exceed QFQ_MIN_LMAX (bsc#1210989).
  * CVE-2023-1390: Fixed remote DoS vulnerability in tipc_link_xmit()
    (bsc#1210779).
  * CVE-2023-28466: Fixed race condition that could lead to use-after-free or
    NULL pointer dereference in do_tls_getsockopt in net/tls/tls_main.c
    (bsc#1210452).
