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

The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2016-4470: The key_reject_and_link function in security/keys/key.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure that a certain data structure is initialized, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via vectors involving a crafted keyctl request2 command (bsc#984764).
