Mageia 5 i586.  Tested kernel-desktop on laptop hardware and kernel-server on workstation and server hardware.  All OK.

Tested leak PoC, which showed the leaked keyring before the update and not after the update.  Tested the cve PoC which ran for a long time and did spawn a shell, but as the current user and not root, so the exploit wasn't working, which is comforting.

Validating now based on TJ and my tests.
