Due to the release of a fix in security and proposed pockets for the
following CVE:

CVE-2017-1000364 (It was discovered that the stack guard page for
processes in the Linux kernel was not sufficiently large enough to
prevent overlapping with the heap. An attacker could leverage this with
another vulnerability to execute arbitrary code and gain administrative
privileges)

we are re-spinning the following packages of the current SRU cycle:

- linux and linux-lts-xenial on trusty
- linux, linux-aws, linux-gke, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon,
linux-hwe, linux-hwe-edge and linux-joule on xenial
- linux, linux-raspi2 on yakkety
- linux, linux-raspi2 on zesty



Best regards,

Kleber Souza
