Security update for the Linux Kernel

The Linux Kernel was updated to 4.1.13 and fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:
- CVE-2015-8104: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS
users to cause a denial of service (host OS panic or hang) by triggering
many #DB (aka Debug) exceptions, related to svm.c.
- CVE-2015-5307: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed guest OS
users to cause a denial of service (host OS panic or hang) by triggering
many #AC (aka Alignment Check) exceptions, related to svm.c and vmx.c.
- CVE-2015-6937: The __rds_conn_create function in net/rds/connection.c
in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service
(NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified
other impact by using a socket that was not properly bound.
- CVE-2015-7990: A local denial of service due to an incomplete fix of
CVE-2015-6937 could lead to crashes (local denial of service).
- CVE-2015-7799: The slhc_init function in drivers/net/slip/slhc.c in
the Linux kernel did not ensure that certain slot numbers are valid,
which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference and system crash) via a crafted PPPIOCSMAXCID ioctl call.
