An update that solves four vulnerabilities and has 11 security fixes can now be installed.

Description:

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 Azure kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

  • CVE-2023-31085: Fixed a divide-by-zero error in do_div(sz,mtd->erasesize) that could cause a local DoS. (bsc#1210778)
