This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that the overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel did
 not properly validate the application of file system capabilities with
 respect to user namespaces. A local attacker could use this to gain
 elevated privileges. (CVE-2021-3493)

 Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF JIT compiler for x86 in the Linux
 kernel did not properly validate computation of branch displacements in
 some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of
 service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-29154)");
