Affected Products:

SLE 11 SERVER Unsupported Extras

______________________________________________________________________________

 

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.
