The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 RT kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2022-29156: Fixed a double free related to rtrs_clt_dev_release (bnc#1198515).
- CVE-2022-28893: Ensuring that sockets are in the intended state inside the SUNRPC subsystem (bnc#1198330).
- CVE-2022-28748: Fixed memory lead over the network by ax88179_178a devices (bsc#1196018).
- CVE-2022-28356: Fixed a refcount leak bug found in net/llc/af_llc.c (bnc#1197391).
- CVE-2022-1516: Fixed null-ptr-deref caused by x25_disconnect (bsc#1199012).
- CVE-2022-1419: Fixed a concurrency use-after-free in vgem_gem_dumb_create (bsc#1198742).

- CVE-2022-0812: Fixed random memory leakage inside NFS/RDMA (bsc#1196639).
- CVE-2021-4154: Fixed a use-after-free flaw inside cgroup1_parse_param in kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c. A local attacker with a user privilege could cause a privilege escalation by exploiting the fsconfig syscall parameter leading to a container breakout and a denial of service on the system (bnc#1193842).
- CVE-2021-38208: Fixed a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) by making a getsockname call after a certain type of failure of a bind call (bnc#1187055).
