SUSE Security Update: Security update for Linux kernel ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2013:0341-1 Rating: important References: #779577 #803056 #804154 Cross-References: CVE-2013-0871 Affected Products: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 for VMware SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 11 SP2 SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP2 SLE 11 SERVER Unsupported Extras ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that solves one vulnerability and has two fixes is now available. It includes one version update. Description: The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel has been updated to fix two issues: One severe security issue: * CVE-2013-0871: A race condition in ptrace(2) could be used by local attackers to crash the kernel and/or execute code in kernel context. One severe regression issue: * A regression in UNIX domain socket credential passing. The default disabling of passing credentials caused regression in some software packages that did not expect this. One major software package affected by this was the Open Enterprise Server stack. Security Issue reference: * CVE-2013-0871 <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-0871
