Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:2852-1 advisory.

 This update for the Linux Kernel 5.14.21-150500_55_62 fixes several issues.

 The following security issues were fixed:

 - CVE-2024-27398: Fixed use-after-free bug caused by sco_sock_timeout() (bsc#1225013).
