SUSE Security Announcement
Package: kernel Announcement-ID: SUSE-SA:2004:028 Date: Wednesday, Sept 1st 2004 14:26 MEST Affected products: 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1 SUSE Linux Database Server, SUSE eMail Server III, 3.1 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9 SUSE Linux Connectivity Server SUSE Linux Office Server Vulnerability Type: remote denial-of-service Severity (1-10): 6 SUSE default package: yes Cross References: none
I am unsure if the problems are solved in 2.6.5-7.108-default, because I downloaded the kernel today before I received this mail. Could you please name the kernels exactly, which have the bugs solved, in the announcement? Al

The previous version was 2.6.5-7.104, so you certainly have the new one. I personally wouldn't mind a jump to 2.6.8.1 for a specific driverfix I may have a need to but probably will just try the next kernel of the day. -- C U - -- ---- ----- -----/\/ René Gallati \/\---- ----- --- -- -

The 2.6.5-7.108 kernel contains the fix. We will not upgrade to 2.6.8 in the stable product lines (9.1 and sles9), however 9.2 will have a newer 2.6 kernel. Ciao, Marcus

Well never say never, there may yet be some master bug forcing a version jump. Or what was the reason that there was a switch from 2.6.4 (SuSE 9.1 default installation) to the current 2.6.5 version ? It's not that I absolutely must have a SuSE 2.6.8.1 kernel for 9.1, I can install and patch it myself, but somehow I always feel safer using a SuSE kernel (odd I know :) ) There is just one disconcerting problem I have on a box at a customer and potentially 2.6.8.1 may fix it for me because there were some changes in the involved driver. -- C U - -- ---- ----- -----/\/ René Gallati \/\---- ----- --- -- -

Both SLES 9 and SuSE Linux 9.1 share the same kernel to reduce QA efforts for kernel updates. Since the SLES 9 kernel very very likely will stay at this level the 9.1 kernel will too. The switch was the catchup of the 9.1 kernel to the SLES 9 kernel. Ciao, Marcus
