  release, and also includes security and bugfixes.

  The following security bugs were fixed:

  - CVE-2016-0728: A reference leak in keyring handling with
  join_session_keyring() could lead to local attackers gain root
  privileges. (bsc#962075).

  - CVE-2015-7550: A local user could have triggered a race between read and
  revoke in keyctl (bnc#958951).

  - CVE-2015-8767: A case can occur when sctp_accept() is called by the user
  during a heartbeat timeout event after the 4-way handshake. Since
  sctp_assoc_migrate() changes both assoc- base.sk and assoc- ep, the
  bh_sock_lock in sctp_generate_heartbeat_event() will be taken with the
  listening socket but released with the new association socket. The
  result is a deadlock on any future attempts to take the listening socket
  lock. (bsc#961509)

  - CVE-2015-8539: A negatively instantiated user key could have been used
  by a local user to leverage privileges (bnc#958463).

  - CVE-2015-8569: The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect functions in
  drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel did not verify an address
  length, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from
  kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted
  application (bnc#959190).

  - CVE-2015-8543: The networking implementation in the Linux kernel did not
  validate protocol identifiers for certain protocol families, which
  allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL function pointer
  dereference and system crash) or possibly gain privileges by leveraging
  CLONE_NEWUSER support to execute a crafted SOCK_RAW application
  (bnc#958886).

  - CVE-2015-8575: Validate socket address length in sco_sock_bind() to
  prevent information leak (bsc#959399).

  - CVE-2015-8551, CVE-2015-8552: xen/pciback: For
  XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[x] only disable if device has MSI(X) enabled
  (bsc#957990).

  - CVE-2015-8550: Compiler optimizations in the XEN PV backend drivers
  could have lead to double fetch vulnerabilities, causing denial of
  service or arbitrary code execution (depending on the configuration)
  (bsc#957988).

  The following non-security bugs were fixed:

  - ALSA: hda - Add a fixup for Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2nd (bsc#958439).

  - ALSA: hda - Apply click noise workaround for Thinkpads generically
  (bsc#958439).

  - ALSA: hda - Fix noise problems on Thinkpad T440s (boo#958504).

  - ALSA: hda - Flush the pending probe work at remove (boo#960710).

  - ALSA: hda - Set codec to D3 at reboot/shutdown on Thinkpads (bsc#958439).

  - Add Cavium Thunderx network enha ...
