  • CVE-2023-39191: Fixed a lack of validation of dynamic pointers within user-supplied eBPF programs that may have allowed an attacker with CAP_BPF privileges to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code. (bsc#1215863)
  • CVE-2023-51779: Fixed a use-after-free because of a bt_sock_ioctl race condition in bt_sock_recvmsg (bsc#1218610).
