The following security issues were fixed: * CVE-2023-3610: Fixed use-after-free vulnerability in nf_tables can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation (bsc#1213584). * CVE-2023-3777: Fixed a use-after-free vulnerability in netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. (bsc#1215097) * CVE-2023-5345: Fixed an use-after-free vulnerability in the fs/smb/client component which could be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. (bsc#1215971) * 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). * 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.
