Hi Pat,

If this patch / fix was applied to kernel 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64
then it seems to me more of a mitigation / blocker instead.

The patch applied to 4.7.9-200.fc24.x86_64 on Fedora 24 seems more of a
proper fix.  The cowroot vulnerability doesn't get the chance to be
executed at all.

Best regards,
Valentin
