______________________________________________________________________________
An update that solves 9 vulnerabilities and has 82 fixes is
now available.
Description:
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel was updated to
3.0.26, fixing lots of bugs and security issues.
Following security issues were fixed: CVE-2012-1179: A
locking problem in transparent hugepage support could be
used by local attackers to potentially crash the host, or
via kvm a privileged guest user could crash the kvm host
system.
CVE-2011-4127: A potential hypervisor escape by issuing
SG_IO commands to partitiondevices was fixed by restricting
access to these commands.
CVE-2012-1146: A local attacker could oops the kernel using
memory control groups and eventfds.
CVE-2011-1083: Limit the path length users can build using
epoll() to avoid local attackers consuming lots of kernel
CPU time.
CVE-2012-1097: The regset common infrastructure assumed
that regsets would always have .get and .set methods, but
necessarily .active methods. Unfortunately people have
since written regsets without .set method, so NULL pointer
dereference attacks were possible.
CVE-2011-2494: Access to the /proc/pid/taskstats file
requires root access to avoid side channel (timing
keypresses etc.) attacks on other users.
CVE-2011-4086: Fixed a oops in jbd/jbd2 that could be
caused by specific filesystem access patterns.
CVE-2011-4131: A malicious NFSv4 server could have caused a
oops in the nfsv4 acl handling.
CVE-2011-4132: Fixed a oops in jbd/jbd2 that could be
caused by mounting a malicious prepared filesystem.
(Also included all fixes from the 3.0.14 -> 3.0.25 stable
kernel updates.)
