This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.61-52_111 fixes one issue. The following security issue was fixed :

  • CVE-2017-15649: net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges via crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of packet_fanout data structures, because of a race condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that leads to a use-after-free. This fixes the earlier kgraft update, that could have caused crashes when trying to exploit this vulnerability after applying the kgraft update (bsc#1064392, bsc#1064388).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
