- CVE-2023-46813: Fixed an incorrect access checking in the VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES emulation of MMIO accesses that could lead to arbitrary write access to kernel memory.
(bsc#1212649)
- CVE-2023-31085: Fixed a divide-by-zero error in do_div(sz,mtd->erasesize) that could cause a local DoS.
(bsc#1210778)
