An update that solves four vulnerabilities and has 11 security fixes can now be
installed.

## Description:

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 Azure kernel was updated to receive various
security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

  * CVE-2023-31085: Fixed a divide-by-zero error in do_div(sz,mtd->erasesize)
    that could cause a local DoS. (bsc#1210778)
  * CVE-2023-45862: Fixed an issue in the ENE UB6250 reader driver whwere an
    object could potentially extend beyond the end of an allocation causing.
    (bsc#1216051)
  * 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)
