Summary: Important: kernel security and bug fix update

Details: The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * kernel: use-after-free vulnerability in the perf_group_detach function of the Linux Kernel Performance Events (CVE-2023-2235) * kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in nf_tables when processing batch requests can lead to privilege escalation (CVE-2023-32233) * Kernel: bluetooth: Unauthorized management command execution (CVE-2023-2002) * kernel: OOB access in the Linux kernel's XFS subsystem (CVE-2023-2124) * kernel: i2c: out-of-bounds write in xgene_slimpro_i2c_xfer() (CVE-2023-2194) * kernel: tls: race condition in do_tls_getsockopt may lead to use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2023-28466) 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.
