  <description>This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.55-52_45 fixes several issues.

The following security bugs were fixed:

- CVE-2017-7308: The packet_set_ring function in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain block-size data, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls (bsc#1030575, bsc#1031660).
- bsc#1030467: Updated Dirty COW fix. The former patch caused some apps to freeze in rare circumstances
