The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the __sys_recvmmsg function in
 net/socket.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary
 code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that was mishandled during
 error processing (bnc#1003077).
- CVE-2017-5576: Integer overflow in the vc4_get_bcl function in
 drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in the VideoCore DRM driver in the Linux kernel
 allowed local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
 other impact via a crafted size value in a VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call
 (bnc#1021294).
- CVE-2017-5577: The vc4_get_bcl function in drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c in
 the VideoCore DRM driver in the Linux kernel did not set an errno value upon
 certain overflow detections, which allowed local users to cause a denial of
 service (incorrect pointer dereference and OOPS) via inconsistent size values
 in a VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl call (bnc#1021294).
- CVE-2017-5551: The simple_set_acl function in fs/posix_acl.c in the Linux
 kernel preserved the setgid bit during a setxattr call involving a tmpfs
 filesystem, which allowed local users to gain group privileges by leveraging
 the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions.
 (bnc#1021258).
- CVE-2017-2583: The load_segment_descriptor implementation in
 arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel improperly emulated a 'MOV SS,
 NULL selector' instruction, which allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of
 service (guest OS crash) or gain guest OS privileges via a crafted
 application (bnc#1020602).
- CVE-2017-2584: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
 to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of
 service (use-after-free) via a crafted application that leverages instruction
 emulation for fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt, and sidt (bnc#1019851).
- CVE-2015-8709: kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel mishandled uid and gid
 mappings, which allowed local users to gain privileges by establishing a user
 namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that namespace with an unsafe
 uid or gid, and then using the ptrace system call. NOTE: the vendor states
 'there is no kernel bug here' (bnc#1010933).
- CVE-2016-9806: Race condition in the netlink_dump function in
 net/netlink/af_netlink.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a
 denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via
 a crafted application that made sendmsg system calls, leading to a free
 operation associated with a new dump that started earlier than anticipated
 (bnc#1013540).
- CVE-2017-5897: fixed a bug in the Linux kernel IPv6 implementation which
 allowed remote attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds access, leading to a
 denial-of-service ... [Please see the references for more information on the vulnerabilities]");
