______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves 12 vulnerabilities and has 60 fixes
   is now available. It includes one version update.

Description:


   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 kernel has been
   updated to  version 3.0.93 and includes various bug and
   security fixes.

   The following security bugs have been fixed:

   *

   CVE-2013-2148: The fill_event_metadata function in
   fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c in the Linux kernel did
   not initialize a certain structure member, which allowed
   local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel
   memory via a read operation on the fanotify descriptor.

   *

   CVE-2013-2237: The key_notify_policy_flush function
   in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize
   a certain structure member, which allowed local users to
   obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by
   reading a broadcast message from the notify_policy
   interface of an IPSec key_socket.

   *

   CVE-2013-2232: The ip6_sk_dst_check function in
   net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
   users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by using
   an AF_INET6 socket for a connection to an IPv4 interface.

   *

   CVE-2013-2234: The (1) key_notify_sa_flush and (2)
   key_notify_policy_flush functions in net/key/af_key.c in
   the Linux kernel did not initialize certain structure
   members, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive
   information from kernel heap memory by reading a broadcast
   message from the notify interface of an IPSec key_socket.

   *

   CVE-2013-4162: The udp_v6_push_pending_frames
   function in net/ipv6/udp.c in the IPv6 implementation in
   the Linux kernel made an incorrect function call for
   pending data, which allowed local users to cause a denial
   of service (BUG and system crash) via a crafted application
   that uses the UDP_CORK option in a setsockopt system call.

   *

   CVE-2013-1059: net/ceph/auth_none.c in the Linux
   kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
   service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or
   possibly have unspecified other impact via an auth_reply
   message that triggers an attempted build_request operation.

   *

   CVE-2013-2164: The mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data function
   in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
   users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory
   via a read operation on a malfunctioning CD-ROM drive.

   *

   CVE-2013-2851: Format string vulnerability in the
   register_disk function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel
   allowed local users to gain privileges by leveraging root
   access and writing format string specifiers to
   /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/new_array in order to create
   a crafted /dev/md device name.

   *

   CVE-2013-4163: The ip6_append_data_mtu function in
   net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the IPv6 implementation in the
   Linux kernel did not properly maintain information about
   whether the IPV6_MTU setsockopt option had been specified,
   which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (BUG
   and system crash) via a crafted application that uses the
   UDP_CORK option in a setsockopt system call.

   *

   CVE-2013-1929: Heap-based buffer overflow in the
   tg3_read_vpd function in
   drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c in the Linux kernel
   allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of
   service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code
   via crafted firmware that specifies a long string in the
   Vital Product Data (VPD) data structure.

   *

   CVE-2013-1819: The _xfs_buf_find function in
   fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c in the Linux kernel did not validate block
   numbers, which allowed local users to cause a denial of
   service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or
   possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the
   ability to mount an XFS filesystem containing a metadata
   inode with an invalid extent map.

   *

   CVE-2013-1774: The chase_port function in
   drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel allowed
   local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
   dereference and system crash) via an attempted /dev/ttyUSB
   read or write operation on a disconnected Edgeport USB
   serial converter.
