   This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.74-60_64_104 fixes several issues.

   The following security issues were fixed:

     TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow
     when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs). A remote attacker
     could use this to cause a denial of service. (bsc#1137586)
   - CVE-2019-11478: Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission
     queue implementation in tcp_fragment could be fragmented when handling
     certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote attacker
     could use this to cause a denial of service. (bsc#1137586)
