An important set of stable kernel updates

The 4.8.3 4.7.9 , and 4.4.26 stable kernel updates have been released. There's nothing in the announcements to indicate this, but they all contain a fix for CVE-2016-5195, a bug that can allow local attackers to overwrite files they should not have write access to. So the "all users must upgrade" message seems more than usually applicable this time around. Log in to post comments)
