(CVE-2016-8655) Linux Kernel Local Privilege Escalation Flaw Patch rolling out to Gentoo Sources kernels.

Just a quick note that I am walking the patch for CVE-2016-8655 down the gentoo-sources kernels.

Yesterday, I released the following kernels with the patch backported:

sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.8.12-r1
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.4.36
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.1.36-r1

Updated: 12/08
Also patched:
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.18.45-r1
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.12.68-r1

Updated 12/09
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.10.104-r1
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4.113-r1

Updated 12/11
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.14.79-r1

If Alice does not get to the others before me, I will continue to walk down the versions until all of them are patched.

Done.
