Summary
The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: bpf: Incorrect verifier pruning leads to unsafe code paths being incorrectly marked as safe (CVE-2023-2163)
* kernel: tun: bugs for oversize packet when napi frags enabled in tun_napi_alloc_frags (CVE-2023-3812)
* kernel: use after free in nvmet_tcp_free_crypto in NVMe (CVE-2023-5178)
* kernel: use-after-free due to race condition occurring in dvb_register_device() (CVE-2022-45884)
* kernel: use-after-free due to race condition occurring in dvb_net.c (CVE-2022-45886)
* kernel: use-after-free due to race condition occurring in dvb_ca_en50221.c (CVE-2022-45919)
* kernel: use-after-free in smb2_is_status_io_timeout() (CVE-2023-1192)

Critical 10.0CVE-2023-2163 Public exploit
Incorrect Verifier Branch Pruning Logic Leads To Arbitrary Read/Write In Linux Kernel and Lateral Privilege Escalation
Incorrect verifier pruning in BPF in Linux Kernel >=5.4 leads to unsafe code paths being incorrectly marked as safe, resulting in arbitrary read/write in kernel memory, lateral privilege escalation, and container escape.

High 8.8CVE-2023-5178 Public exploit
Kernel: use after free in nvmet_tcp_free_crypto in nvme
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c` in `nvmet_tcp_free_crypto` due to a logical bug in the NVMe/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. This issue may allow a malicious user to cause a use-after-free and double-free problem, whic…

High 7.8
Kernel: tun: bugs for oversize packet when napi frags enabled in tun_napi_alloc_frags
An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TUN/TAP device driver functionality in how a user generates a malicious (too big) networking packet when napi frags is enabled. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate …

Medium 6.5
Use-after-free in smb2_is_status_io_timeout()
A use-after-free flaw was found in smb2_is_status_io_timeout() in CIFS in the Linux Kernel. After CIFS transfers response data to a system call, there are still local variable points to the memory region, and if the system call frees it faster than CIFS uses …
