"This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.61-52_92 fixes one issue. The
following security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-15868: The bnep_add_connection function in
    net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c did not ensure that an l2cap
    socket is available, which allowed local users to gain
    privileges via a crafted application (bsc#1071471).

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.");
