This is just a small notice that Linux Kernel 4.1.y might not contain
patches to CVE-2016-10229 [1]. This is a reference to the Vanilla
Linux sources without any distribution specific patching. Typically a
number of distributions apply their own patches to the standard
vanilla Kernel. 

Given that the last 4.1.y kernel was released on March 13, there are
lots of things missing in that tree at the moment :)
