This kernel live patch for Linux Kernel 3.12.44-52.18.1 fixes two security
issues:

Fixes:

  • CVE-2016-0728: A reference leak in keyring handling with
    join_session_keyring() could lead to local attackers gain root
    privileges. (bsc#962078).
  • CVE-2013-7446: Use-after-free vulnerability in net/unix/af_unix.c in the
    Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass intended AF_UNIX socket
    permissions or cause a denial of service (panic) via crafted epoll_ctl
    calls. (bsc#955837)
