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. (Also included all fixes from the 3.0.14 -> 3.0.25 stable kernel updates.)
