QID 750678: SUSE Enterprise Linux Security Update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 24 for SLE 15) (SUSE-SU-2021:2057-1)

This update for the linux kernel 4.12.14-150_72 fixes several issues.
the following security 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).
- cve-2021-32399: fixed a race condition when removing the hci controller (bnc#1184611).

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.
