1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to
2.6.32.49 and fixes various bugs and security issues.
Following security bugs were fixed:
CVE-2011-3188: The TCP/IP initial sequence number generation
effectively only used 24 bits of 32 to generate randomness, making
a brute force man-in-the-middle attack on TCP/IP connections
feasible. The generator was changed to use full 32bit randomness.
CVE-2011-2699: Fernando Gont discovered that the IPv6 stack used
predictable fragment identification numbers. A remote attacker
could exploit this to exhaust network resources, leading to a denial
of service.
CVE-2011-2203: A NULL ptr dereference on mounting corrupt hfs
filesystems was fixed which could be used by local attackers to crash
the kernel.
CVE-2011-1833: Added a kernel option to ensure ecryptfs is mounting
only on paths belonging to the current ui, which would have allowed
local attackers to potentially gain privileges via symlink attacks.
CVE-2011-1576: The Generic Receive Offload (GRO) implementation in the
Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
via crafted VLAN packets that are processed by the napi_reuse_skb
function, leading to (1) a memory leak or (2) memory corruption,
a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1478.
CVE-2011-4330: A name overflow in the hfs filesystem was fixed, where
mounting a corrupted hfs filesystem could lead to a stack overflow
and code execution in the kernel. This requires a local attacker to
be able to mount hfs filesystems.
CVE-2011-4326: A bug was found in the way headroom check was performed
in udp6_ufo_fragment() function. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to crash the system.

2) Solution or Work-Around
There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.
3) Special Instructions and Notes
Please reboot the machine after installing the update.
4) Package Location and Checksums
The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST
"Online Update" module or the "zypper" commandline tool. The package and
patch management stack will detect which updates are required and
automatically perform the necessary steps to verify and install them.
Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually
and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this
announcement. Then install the packages using the command
rpm -Fhv
to apply the update, replacing with the filename of the
downloaded RPM package.
Our maintenance customers are notified individually. The packages are
offered for installation from the maintenance web:

6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information
- Announcement authenticity verification:
SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web
sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is
guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE
security announcements are published with a valid signature.
To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file
and run the command
gpg --verify <file>
replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the
announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like:
gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team "
where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed.
If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can
import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the
command
gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc
- Package authenticity verification:
SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the
world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free
and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of
a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered
with.
The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the
authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command
rpm -v --checksig
to verify the signature of the package, replacing with the
filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it
contains a valid signature from build@suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.
This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on
RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during
installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at
the end of this announcement.
- SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
subscribe:
opensuse-security@opensuse.org
- General Linux and SUSE security discussion.
All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list.
To subscribe, send an e-mail to
