[Bug 1689759] Re: CVE 2017-8422 - kauth: Local privilege escalation

[Marc Deslauriers]

ACK on the debdiffs in comments #1 and #2. I have uploaded them for
releasing as a security update, with a few minor changes, such as
targeting the security pocket, some whitespace changes in the changelog,
and adding the new patch to the end of the series file rather than at
the beginning.

Thanks!
