This SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP3 kernel was updated to fix various bugs and one security issue. CVE-2010-1087: The nfs_wait_on_request function in fs/nfs/pagelist.c in the Linux kernel allows attackers to cause a denial of service (Oops) via unknown vectors related to truncating a file and an operation that is not interruptible.

Solution

There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.
