I could have sworn I saw a fix for this sometime last week, as I would only
have become aware of it when the security advisory was published. I built a
new kernel based on 4.7 for my non-debian boxes last weekend, and assumed
the regular updates would take care of Debian. I've long since deleted the
email of course, but I am not sure how I would have even known there was an
issue unless there had been one of the usual mails saying "this issue is
fixed in...". But I agree that is not how the CVE item you linked to makes
it look. Could there be a duplicate, with all the updates on the other one?
