ALSA-2023:3349 Not scored

Important: kernel security and bug fix update

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in nf_tables when processing batch requests can lead to privilege escalation (CVE-2023-32233) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Bug Fix(es): * The qede driver changes rx-usecs: to 256 causing performance impact (BZ#2176104) * Intel QAT Update - (kernel changes) (BZ#2176850) * In FIPS mode, kernel does not transition into error state when RCT or APT health tests fail (BZ#2181730) * "smpboot: Scheduler frequency invariance went wobbly, disabling!" on nohz_full CPUs after long run (BZ#2188067)
