This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.51-52_31 fixes several issues.
The following security bugs were fixed: - CVE-2016-5195: A local privilege escalation using MAPPRIVATE was fixed, which is reportedly exploited in the wild (bsc#1004419). - CVE-2016-4997: The compat IPTSOSETREPLACE and IP6TSOSET_REPLACE setsockopt implementations in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by leveraging in-container root access to provide a crafted offset value that triggers an unintended decrement (bsc#986377).
