An update that solves one vulnerability and has seven security fixes can now be installed.

Description:

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 GA LTSS kernel was updated to fix two issues.

This security bug was fixed:

• CVE-2016-5195: Local privilege escalation using MAP_PRIVATE. It is reportedly exploited in the wild (bsc#1004418).

This non-security bug was fixed:

• sched/core: Fix a race between try_to_wake_up() and a woken up task (bsc#1002165, bsc#1001419).

Special Instructions and Notes:

• Please reboot the system after installing this update.

Patch Instructions:

To install this SUSE update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like YaST online_update or "zypper patch".
