 From lwn.net I see that the stable kernels have today been updated
to 4.10.8 and longterm stable to 4.9.20 and 4.4.59, and that these
are to fix CVE-2017-7184 : local privilege escalation or DOS by
leveraging the CAP_NET_SYSADMIN capability.

The initial report suggests it only applies if user namespaces
(CONFIG_USER_NS) have been configured in the kernel.

OK, I'll go ahead and update LFS today.
