(Cc: blfs-support so everyone can see it) 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. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
