The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux

Security Fix(es) :
* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's keyring handling code, where
in key_reject_and_link() an uninitialized variable would eventually
lead to arbitrary free address which could allow attacker to use a
use-after-free style attack. (CVE-2016-4470, Important)
