- CVE-2023-20593: Fixed a ZenBleed issue in 'Zen 2' CPUs that could allow an attacker to potentially access sensitive information (bsc#1213286).
- CVE-2023-2985: Fixed an use-after-free vulnerability in hfsplus_put_super in fs/hfsplus/super.c that could allow a local user to cause a denial of service (bsc#1211867).
- CVE-2023-3106: Fixed crash in XFRM_MSG_GETSA netlink handler (bsc#1213251).
- CVE-2023-3268: Fixed an out of bounds memory access flaw in relay_file_read_start_pos in the relayfs (bsc#1212502).
- CVE-2023-35001: Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access flaw in nft_byteorder that could allow a local attacker to escalate their privilege (bsc#1213059).
- CVE-2023-3567: Fixed a use-after-free in vcs_read in drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c (bsc#1213167).

- ubi: ensure that VID header offset + VID header size <= alloc, size (bsc#1210584).
- x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32 (git-fixes) No it's not git-fixes it's used to make sle12-sp2 compile with newer toolchain to make the life of all the poor souls maintaining this ancient kernel on their modern machines, a little bit easier....
