corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM.

It was discovered that libnl incorrectly handled memory when
performing certain operations. A local attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause libnl to crash, resulting in a denial of service,
or execute arbitrary code.

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