openSUSE Security Update : kernel (openSUSE-SU-2013:1005-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 75024

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The openSUSE 12.1 kernel was updated to fix a critical security issue and also some reiserfs bugs.

CVE-2013-2850: Incorrect strncpy usage in the network listening part of the iscsi target driver could have been used by remote attackers to crash the kernel or execute code.

This required the iscsi target running on the machine and the attacker able to make a network connection to it (aka not filtered by firewalls).

Bugs :

- reiserfs: fix spurious multiple-fill in reiserfs_readdir_dentry (bnc#822722).

- reiserfs: fix problems with chowning setuid file w/ xattrs (bnc#790920).

Solution

Update the affected kernel packages.
