Summary
Updated kernel packages fixes security and other bugs
Details

This kernel update is based on upstream 4.4.79 and fixes at least the following security issues:

Linux kernel built with the VirtIO GPU driver(CONFIGDRMVIRTIOGPU) support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while creating a virtio gpu object in virtiogpuobjectcreate(). A user/process could use this flaw to leak host kernel memory potentially resulting in Dos (CVE-2017-10810).

It also contains followup fixes to the Stack Clash (CVE-2017-1000370, CVE-2017-1000371) security issues resolved in kernels released at end of June, 2017.

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