Summary
Security update for the Linux Kernel
Details

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 GA kernel was updated to fix one security issue.

The following security bug was fixed:

  • CVE-2016-1583: Prevent the usage of mmap when the lower file system does not allow it. This could have lead to local privilege escalation when ecryptfs-utils was installed and /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private was setuid (bsc#983143).
