This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.55-52_42 fixes several issues.
The following security bugs were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-8655: A race condition in the af_packet     packet_set_ring function could be used by local     attackers to crash the kernel or gain privileges     (bsc#1012759).

  - CVE-2016-9555: The sctp_sf_ootb function in     net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel lacks     chunk-length checking for the first chunk, which allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds slab access) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via crafted SCTP data (bsc#1012183).

  - CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the
    __sys_recvmmsg function in net/socket.c in the Linux     kernel allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that     is mishandled during error processing (bsc#1003253).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.60-52_49 fixes several issues.
