This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.61-52_101 fixes several issues.

The following security issues were fixed:

  • CVE-2017-16939: The XFRM dump policy implementation in
    net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a
    denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt
    system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY Netlink messages
    (bsc#1069708).
  • CVE-2017-15649: net/packet/af_packet.c allowed local users to gain
    privileges via crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of
    packet_fanout data structures, because of a race condition (involving
    fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that leads to a use-after-free
    (bsc#1064392).
