The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: * kernel: use-after-free vulnerability in the perf_group_detach function of the Linux Kernel Performance Events * kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in nf_tables when processing batch requests can lead to privilege escalation * Kernel: bluetooth: Unauthorized management command execution * kernel: OOB access in the Linux kernel"s XFS subsystem * kernel: i2c: out-of-bounds write in xgene_slimpro_i2c_xfer * kernel: tls: race condition in do_tls_getsockopt may lead to use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference For more details about the security issue, including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page listed in the References section.
