Synopsis:          Important: kernel security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2016:0045-1
Issue Date:        2016-01-19
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2015-5366
                   CVE-2015-5364
--

* Two flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel's networking
implementation handled UDP packets with incorrect checksum values. A
remote attacker could potentially use these flaws to trigger an infinite
loop in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the system, or
cause a denial of service in applications using the edge triggered epoll
functionality. (CVE-2015-5364, CVE-2015-5366, Important)

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
