This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.74-60_64_63 fixes one issue.

The following security issue was 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).
