Advisory, also added to svn

type: security
subject: Updated kernel-linus packages fixes security vulnerability
CVE:
 - CVE-2017-7184
src:
  5:
   core:
     - kernel-linus-4.4.59-1.mga5
description: |
  This kernel-linus update is based on upstream 4.4.59 and fixes atleast
  the following security issue:

  The xfrm_replay_verify_len function in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c in the Linux
  kernel through 4.10.6 does not validate certain size data after an
  XFRM_MSG_NEWAE update, which allows local users to obtain root privileges
  or cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds access) by
  leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (CVE-2017-7184).

  For other upstream fixes in this update, see the referenced changelogs.
