This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.61-52_106 fixes several issues.

The following security issue was fixed:

  • CVE-2017-15649: net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel 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, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-6346
    (bsc#1064388)
