This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.60-52_49 fixes several issues.

The following security bugs were fixed:

  • CVE-2016-4470: The key_reject_and_link function in security/keys/key.c
    in the Linux kernel did not ensure that a certain data structure is
    initialized, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
    (system crash) via vectors involving a crafted keyctl request2 command
    (bsc#984764).
