Synopsis

The remote SuSE 11 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel contains various security fixes and lots of other bugfixes.

Notable larger bugfixes and changes :

- 603464: Fix system freezewhen doing a network crashdump with a netxen_nic driver

- 610828: Avoid kernel failure on connects/disconnects to a novell server with Novell Client 2.0

- 612009: Fix Oracle issues due to problems with OCFS

- 614332: Fix SMB processes stuck in uninteruptible sleep when using (LVS/ClusteredIP) + CTDB + OCFS2

- 619525: Fix igb driver regression

- 626321: Add patch for Apparent OCFS2 corruption after removing a bunch of reflinks

- 627518: Avoid System hangs up after failed to copy files from smb server

- 629552: Skip Tape rewind during boot or a scsi scan The following security issues were fixed :

- insufficient range checks on the ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL command allowed local users to at least crash the kernel. (CVE-2010-2478)

- Specially crafted NFS write requests could crash the kernel. (CVE-2010-2521)

- a malicious local user could fill the cache used by CIFS do perform dns lookups with chosen data, therefore tricking the kernel into mounting a wrong CIFS server.
(CVE-2010-2524)

- a local user could overwrite append-only files on a btrfs file system. (CVE-2010-2537)

- a local user could read kernel memory of a btrfs file system. (CVE-2010-2538)

- local users could trigger a NULL derefence via gfs2 file system. (CVE-2010-2798)

- driver specific drm ioctl could leak kernel memory to users with access to dri devices. (CVE-2010-2803)

- 'tc dump' could leak some kernel memory. (CVE-2010-2942)

- the 'os2' xaddr namespace could be used to bypass xattr namespace rules. (CVE-2010-2946)

- integer overflows in the CAN subsystem allowed attackers to crash the kernel or gain privileges. (CVE-2010-2959)

- certain write operations on an ext4 filesystem could crash the kernel. (CVE-2010-3015)

Solution

Apply SAT patch number 3068 / 3069 / 3070 as appropriate.
