    Do as Greg says [1]:
    
    > All users of the 4.9 kernel series must upgrade.
    
    Changes for Linux 4.9.17 [2][3]:
    
    > Immediately after announcing the release of the Linux 4.10.5
    > kernel, Greg Kroah-Hartman informed us about the immediate
    > availability of the seventeenth maintenance update to the
    > long-term supported Linux 4.9 kernel series.
    >
    > Just like Linux kernel 4.10.5, the Linux 4.9.17 LTS kernel is
    > here only four days after the previous maintenance release, in
    > this case Linux kernel 4.9.16 LTS. But this one is a major
    > release adding changes to a total of 112 files, with 1815
    > insertions and 1271 deletions, according to the appended shortlog.
    > Therefore, it is recommended that you update your systems to
    > the new version as soon as possible.
