Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for the Linux Kernel 5.3.18-150300_59_153 fixes several issues.

The following security issues were fixed:

- CVE-2021-46955: Fixed an out-of-bounds read with openvswitch, when fragmenting IPv4 packets (bsc#1220537).
- CVE-2024-26852: Fixed use-after-free in ip6_route_mpath_notify() (bsc#1223059).
