It includes two new package versions. Description: The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 LTSS kernel has been updated to fix security issues on kernels on the x86_64 architecture. The following security bugs have been fixed: * CVE-2014-9322: A local privilege escalation in the x86_64 32bit compatibility signal handling was fixed, which could have been used by local attackers to crash the machine or execute code. * CVE-2014-9090: The do_double_fault function in arch/x86/kernel/traps.c in the Linux kernel did not properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment (SS) segment register, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a modify_ldt system call, as demonstrated by sigreturn_32 in the 1 -clock-tests test suite. * CVE-2014-8133: Insufficient validation of TLS register usage could have leaked information from the kernel stack to userspace. Security Issues: * CVE-2014-8133 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-8133 * CVE-2014-9090 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-9090 * CVE-2014-9322 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-9322 Indications: Everyone using the Linux Kernel on x86_64 architecture should update.
