It includes one version update. Description: The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel was updated to 3.0.34, fixing a lot of bugs and security issues. The update from Linux kernel 3.0.31 to 3.0.34 also fixes various bugs not listed here. The following security issues have been fixed: * CVE-2012-2136: Local attackers could trigger an overflow in sock_alloc_send_pksb(), potentially crashing the machine or escalate privileges. * CVE-2012-2390: A memory leak in transparent hugepages on mmap failure could be used by local attacker to run the machine out of memory (local denial of service). * CVE-2012-2119: A malicious guest driver could overflow the host stack by passing a long descriptor, so potentially crashing the host system or escalating privileges on the host. * CVE-2012-2375: Malicious NFS server could crash the clients when more than 2 GETATTR bitmap words are returned in response to the FATTR4_ACL attribute requests, only incompletely fixed by CVE-2011-4131.
