remote denial of service

Please Install the Updated Packages.

This update of the openSUSE 11.2 kernel brings the kernel to version 2.6.31.12 and contains a lot of bug and security fixes. CVE-2010-0299: The permission of the devtmpfs root directory was incorrectly 1777 (instead of 755). If it was used, local attackers could escalate privileges. (openSUSE 11.2 does not use this filesystem by default). CVE-2009-3939: The poll_mode_io file for the megaraid_sas driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.31.6 and earlier has world-writable permissions, which allows local users to change the I/O mode of the driver by modifying this file. CVE-2010-0007: ebtables was lacking a CAP_NET_ADMIN check, making it possible for local unprivileged attackers to modify the network bridge management. CVE-2010-0003: An information leakage on fatal signals on x86_64 machines was fixed. CVE-2009-4141: A race condition in fasync handling could be used by local attackers to crash the machine or potentially execute code. CVE-2010-0006: The ipv6_hop_jumbo function in net/ipv6/exthdrs.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32.4, when network namespaces are enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via an invalid IPv6 jumbogram. CVE-2009-4536: drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.32.3 and earlier handles Ethernet frames that exceed the MTU by processing certain trailing payload data as if it were a complete frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass packet filters via a large packet with a crafted payload. CVE-2009-4538: drivers/net/e1000e/netdev.c in the e1000e driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.32.3 and earlier does not properly check the size of an Ethernet frame that exceeds the MTU, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via crafted packets.
