   An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has one
   errata is now available.

Description:

   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).
