Description: This security update of the SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 GA kernel updates the kernel to 2.6.27.54 and fixes various security issues and other bugs. Following security issues were fixed: CVE-2010-3310: Multiple integer signedness errors in net/rose/af_rose.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a rose_getname function call, related to the rose_bind and rose_connect functions. CVE-2010-2955: A kernel information leak via the WEXT ioctl was fixed. CVE-2010-3080: A double free in an alsa error path was fixed, which could lead to kernel crashes. CVE-2010-3078: Fixed a kernel information leak in the xfs filesystem. CVE-2010-3296: Fixed a kernel information leak in the cxgb3 driver. CVE-2010-3297: Fixed a kernel information leak in the net/eql driver. CVE-2010-2954: The irda_bind function in net/irda/af_irda.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle failure of the irda_open_tsap function, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) and possibly have unspecified other impact via multiple unsuccessful calls to bind on an AF_IRDA (aka PF_IRDA) socket. CVE-2010-2946: The 'os2' xattr namespace on the jfs filesystem could be used to bypass xattr namespace rules. CVE-2010-2942: Fixed a kernel information leak in the net scheduler code. CVE-2010-3015: Integer overflow in the ext4_ext_get_blocks function in fs/ext4/extents.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (BUG and system crash) via a write operation on the last block of a large file, followed by a sync operation. CVE-2010-2803: The drm_ioctl function in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c in the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory by requesting a large memory-allocation amount. CVE-2010-2798: The gfs2_dirent_find_space function in fs/gfs2/dir.c in the Linux kernel used an incorrect size value in calculations associated with sentinel directory entries, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and panic) and possibly have unspecified other impact by renaming a file in a GFS2 filesystem, related to the gfs2_rename function in fs/gfs2/ops_inode.c. Special Instructions and Notes: Please reboot the system after installing this update.
