On the side of what you will be receiving soon, things are also moving:

  * Kernel 4.8.2 – in snapshot 1020+

Will this contain the fix for CVE-2016-5195 [1]?

I think this fix is urgent.

Currently my Tumbleweed has kernel-default-4.7.6-1.2.x86_64 which seems *not* to contain this fix. Or is there a fast path update repo?

4.8.3 will contain the fix which was handle as emergency and will be in the next snapshot already. Cheers, Dominique
