  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"This update of the openSUSE 11.2 kernel fixes various bugs
  and lots of security issues.

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

  CVE-2010-4160: A overflow in sendto() and recvfrom() routines was fixed
  that could be used by local attackers to potentially crash the kernel
  using some socket families like L2TP.

  CVE-2010-4157: A 32bit vs 64bit integer mismatch in gdth_ioctl_alloc
  could lead to memory corruption in the GDTH driver.

  CVE-2010-4165: The do_tcp_setsockopt function in net/ipv4/tcp.c in the
  Linux kernel did not properly restrict TCP_MAXSEG (aka MSS) values, which
  allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a setsockopt
  call that specifies a small value, leading to a divide-by-zero error or
  incorrect use of a signed integer.

  CVE-2010-4164: A remote (or local) attacker communicating over X.25
  could cause a kernel panic by attempting to negotiate malformed
  facilities.

  CVE-2010-4175:  A local attacker could cause memory overruns in the RDS
  protocol stack, potentially crashing the kernel. So far it is considered
  not to be exploitable.

  CVE-2010-3874: A minor heap overflow in the CAN network module was fixed.
  Due to nature of the memory allocator it is likely not exploitable.

  CVE-2010-3874: A minor heap overflow in the CAN network module was fixed.
  Due to nature of the memory allocator it is likely not exploitable.

  CVE-2010-4158: A memory information leak in Berkeley packet filter rules
  allowed local attackers to read uninitialized memory of the kernel stack.

  CVE-2010-4162: A local denial of service in the blockdevice layer was fixed.

  CVE-2010-4163: By submitting certain I/O requests with 0 length, a local
  user could have caused a kernel panic.

  CVE-2010-3861: The ethtool_get_rxnfc function in net/core/ethtool.c
  in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain block of heap memory,
  which allowed local users to obtain potentially sensitive information via
  an ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL ethtool command with a large info.rule_cnt value.

  CVE-2010-3442: Multiple integer overflows in the snd_ctl_new function
  in sound/core/control.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 crafted (1) SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_ADD or
  (2) SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE ioctl ca ...
