Description:

 

This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.62-60_62 fixes several issues.

 

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2016-5195: A local privilege escalation using MAP_PRIVATE was fixed,

which is reportedly exploited in the wild (bsc#1004419).

- CVE-2016-8666: The IP stack in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers

to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and panic) or possibly

have unspecified other impact by triggering use of the GRO path for

packets with tunnel stacking, as demonstrated by interleaved IPv4

headers and GRE headers, a related issue to CVE-2016-7039 (bsc#1001486).
