______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves one vulnerability and has 42 fixes is
   now available. It includes one version update.

Description:


   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 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:

   * CVE-2013-2206: 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)

   The following non-security bugs have been fixed:

   * kernel: sclp console hangs (bnc#841498, LTC#95711).

   (bnc#841402).

   on 55XX chipsets (bnc#844513).
   * x86/iommu/vt-d: Expand interrupt remapping quirk to
   cover x58 chipset (bnc#844513).
   * iommu/vt-d: Only warn about broken interrupt
   remapping (bnc#844513).

   * Fix lockup related to stop_machine being stuck in
   __do_softirq (bnc#797526).
   * splice: fix racy pipe->buffers uses (bnc#827246).

   directory removal (bnc#832292).
   * mm: Do not walk all of system memory during show_mem
   (Reduce tasklist_lock hold times (bnc#821259)).
   * mm: Bounce memory pool initialisation (bnc#836347).
   * mm, memcg: introduce own oom handler to iterate only
   over its own threads.
   * mm, memcg: move all oom handling to memcontrol.c.
   * mm, oom: avoid looping when chosen thread detaches
   its mm.
   * mm, oom: fold oom_kill_task() into oom_kill_process().
   * mm, oom: introduce helper function to process threads
   during scan.
   * mm, oom: reduce dependency on tasklist_lock.
   * ipv6: do not call fib6_run_gc() until routing is
   ready (bnc#836218).

   (bnc#797526).

   (bnc#816099).
   * NFS: do not try to use lock state when we hold a
   delegation (bnc#831029).
