   An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has 8 fixes
   is now available.

Description:


   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP4 kernel has been updated to
   fix various  bugs and security issues.

   Security issues fixed:

   *

   CVE-2012-4444: The ip6_frag_queue function in
   net/ipv6/reassembly.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote
   attackers to bypass intended network restrictions via
   overlapping IPv6 fragments.

   *

   CVE-2013-1928: The do_video_set_spu_palette function
   in fs/compat_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel lacked a certain
   error check, which might have allowed local users to obtain
   sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a
   crafted VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE ioctl call on a /dev/dvb
   device.

   Also the following bugs have been fixed:

   * hugetlb: Fix regression introduced by the original
   patch (bnc#790236, bnc#819403).
   * NFSv3/v2: Fix data corruption with NFS short reads
   (bnc#818337).
   * Fix package descriptions in specfiles (bnc#817666).
   * TTY: fix atime/mtime regression (bnc#815745).
   * virtio_net: ensure big packets are 64k (bnc#760753).
   * virtio_net: refill rx buffers when oom occurs
   (bnc#760753).
   * qeth: fix qeth_wait_for_threads() deadlock for OSN
   devices (bnc#812317, LTC#90910).
   * nfsd: remove unnecessary NULL checks from
   nfsd_cross_mnt (bnc#810628).
   * knfsd: Fixed problem with NFS exporting directories
   which are mounted on (bnc#810628).
