Synopsis
The remote SuSE 11 host is missing one or more security updates.
Description
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 3 kernel was updated to version 3.0.101 and also includes various other bug and security fixes.
The following features have been added :
- Drivers: hv: Support handling multiple VMBUS versions (FATE#314665).
- Drivers: hv: Save and export negotiated vmbus version (FATE#314665).
- Drivers: hv: Move vmbus version definitions to hyperv.h (FATE#314665). The following security issue has been fixed :
- The sctp_sf_do_5_2_4_dupcook function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle associations during the processing of a duplicate COOKIE ECHO chunk, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted SCTP traffic. (bnc#826102). (CVE-2013-2206)
The following non-security bugs have been fixed :
- mm, memcg: introduce own oom handler to iterate only over its own threads.
- mm, memcg: move all oom handling to memcontrol.c.
