The openSUSE 11.3 kernel was updated to 2.6.34.8 to fix various bugs and security issues.

Following security issues have been fixed: CVE-2011-1493: In the rose networking stack, when parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, it was possible for a remote host to provide more digipeaters than expected, resulting in heap corruption.

CVE-2011-1478: An issue in the core GRO code where an skb belonging to an unknown VLAN is reused could result in a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2011-1163: The code for evaluating OSF partitions (in fs/partitions/osf.c) contained a bug that leaks data from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF partitions.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to 2.6.32.27 and fixes various bugs and security issues.

The following security issues were fixed :

  - A local attacker could use a Oops (kernel crash) caused     by other flaws to write a 0 byte to a attacker     controlled address in the kernel. This could lead to     privilege escalation together with other issues.
    (CVE-2010-4258)

(CVE-2010-4072)

  - The copy_semid_to_user function in ipc/sem.c in the     Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure,     which allowed local users to obtain potentially     sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a (1)     IPC_INFO, (2) SEM_INFO, (3) IPC_STAT, or (4) SEM_STAT     command in a semctl system call.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2010:0998 advisory.

  - kvm: arch/x86/kvm/x86.c: reading uninitialized stack memory (CVE-2010-3881)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1 kernel was updated to 2.6.32.45 and fixes various bugs and security issues.

  - The second part of this fix was not yet applied to our     kernel: arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel before     2.6.36.2 does not initialize certain structure members,     which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via read operations     on the /dev/kvm device. (CVE-2010-3881)

  - The /proc/PID/io interface could be used by local     attackers to gain information on other processes like     number of password characters typed or similar.
