Linux kernel 4.3.2 fixes a time validation bug with regards to X.509 certificates, so those who don’t use these certificates have no reason to panic and update to the second maintenance release of Linux kernel 4.3. The bug does not only affect yesterday’s Linux kernel 4.3.1 release, but also Linux kernel 4.3.0. In addition, Linux kernel 4.3.2 removes the false comparison from the asymmetric_keys function in crypto.
