The openSUSE 12.1 kernel was updated to fix a critical
security issue and also some reiserfs bugs.

CVE-2013-2850: Incorrect strncpy usage in the network
listening part of the iscsi target driver could have been
used by remote attackers to crash the kernel or execute
code.

This required the iscsi target running on the machine and
the attacker able to make a network connection to it (aka
not filtered by firewalls).

Bugs:

  • reiserfs: fix spurious multiple-fill in
    reiserfs_readdir_dentry (bnc#822722).

  • reiserfs: fix problems with chowning setuid file w/
    xattrs (bnc#790920).
