"This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.69-60_64_29 fixes several
issues. The following security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-15868: The bnep_add_connection function in
    net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c in 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.");
