19 Feb 2010

      Hi Marcus!
After updating, my machines greeted me with many, many, many log entries 
like the following:
modprobe: WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/generic_serial-blacklist line 4: 
ignoring bad line starting with 'blacklist'
(SLES-9, 2.6.5-7.322-smp on i386 and x86_64)
regards,
Markus

Problem Description and Brief Discussion

This update fixes various security issues and some bugs in the SUSE
  Linux Enterprise 9 kernel.
CVE-2009-4005: The collect_rx_frame function in
  drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_usb.c in the Linux kernel allows attackers
  to have an unspecified impact via a crafted HDLC packet that arrives
  over ISDN and triggers a buffer under-read.
CVE-2009-3080: Array index error in the gdth_read_event function in
  drivers/scsi/gdth.c in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause
  a denial of service or possibly gain privileges via a negative event
  index in an IOCTL request.
CVE-2010-0007: Missing CAP_NET_ADMIN checks in the ebtables netfilter
  code might have allowed local attackers to modify bridge firewall
  settings.
CVE-2009-4536: drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c in the e1000 driver
  in the Linux kernel handles Ethernet frames that exceed the MTU by
  processing certain trailing payload data as if it were a complete
  frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass packet filters via a
  large packet with a crafted payload.
CVE-2009-3889: The dbg_lvl file for the megaraid_sas driver in the
  Linux kernel has world-writable permissions, which allows local users
  to change the (1) behavior and (2) logging level of the driver by
  modifying this file.
CVE-2009-1883: The z90crypt_unlocked_ioctl function in the z90crypt
  driver in the Linux kernel does not perform a capability check for
  the Z90QUIESCE operation, which allows local users to leverage euid
  0 privileges to force a driver outage.
CVE-2009-2903: Memory leak in the appletalk subsystem in the Linux
  kernel, when the appletalk and ipddp modules are loaded but the
  ipddp"N" device is not found, allows remote attackers to cause a
  denial of service (memory consumption) via IP-DDP datagrams.
CVE-2009-3621: net/unix/af_unix.c in the Linux kernel allows local
  users to cause a denial of service (system hang) by creating an
  abstract-namespace AF_UNIX listening socket, performing a shutdown
  operation on this socket, and then performing a series of connect
  operations to this socket.
CVE-2009-3620: The ATI Rage 128 (aka r128) driver in the Linux
  kernel does not properly verify Concurrent Command Engine (CCE)
  state initialization, which allows local users to cause a denial of
  service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly gain
  privileges via unspecified ioctl calls.

Solution or Work-Around

There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.

Special Instructions and Notes

Please reboot the machine after installing the update.

Package Location and Checksums

The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST
  Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and
  automatically performs 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 <file.rpm>

to apply the update, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the
  downloaded RPM package.

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 security@suse.de"
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 <file.rpm>
to verify the signature of the package, replacing <file.rpm> 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.
