Update information for CVE-2017-7516

This is likely to be the very same issue as CVE-2015-1197. The attack
vector is the same as the result. Different approaches on how to fix
(one as used in Debian and SuSE) and one on the cpio mailinglist.

Asked MITRE if we should consider CVE-2017-7516 a duplicate of
CVE-2015-1197.

For the time beeing the patch applied in 2.11+dfsg-4.1 adresses the
bypass of cpio --no-absolute-filenames as outlined in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cpio/2017-06/msg00001.html

Broght the issue as well to the Red Hat bugzilla, since the
CVE-2017-7516 is Red Hat assigned:
