QID 750676: SUSE Enterprise Linux Security Update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 13 for SLE 15 SP2) (SUSE-SU-2021:2027-1)

This update for the linux kernel 5.3.18-24_64 fixes several issues.
the following issues were fixed: - cve-2021-33200: enforcing incorrect limits for pointer arithmetic operations by the bpf verifier could be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory (bsc#1186484).
- cve-2021-33034: fixed a use-after-free when destroying an hci_chan.
This could lead to writing an arbitrary values (bsc#1186111).
- cve-2021-23134: a use after free vulnerability in nfc sockets allowed local attackers to elevate their privileges (bnc#1186060).
- fixed a data loss/data corruption that occurs if there is a write error on an md/raid array (bsc#1185680).

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Successful exploitation allows attacker to compromise the system.
