Description

Updated kernel-linus packages fixes security vulnerability This kernel-linus update is based on upstream 4.4.59 and fixes at least the following security issue: The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux kernel through 4.10.6 does not validate certain size data after an XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allows local users to obtain root privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds access) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (CVE-2017-7184). For other upstream fixes in this update, see the referenced changelogs.
