Security update for Linux kernel (important)

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

The following security issues have been fixed:

CVE-2011-1776: Timo Warns reported an issue in the
Linux implementation for GUID partitions. Users with
physical access could gain access to sensitive kernel
memory by adding a storage device with a specially crafted
corrupted invalid partition table.

CVE-2010-3881: 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-2011-2495: 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.

CVE-2011-2700: A small buffer overflow in the radio
driver si4713-i2c was fixed that could potentially used by
local attackers to crash the kernel or potentially execute
code.

CVE-2011-2909: A kernel information leak in the
comedi driver from kernel to userspace was fixed.

CVE-2011-2918: In the perf framework software event
overflows could deadlock or delete an uninitialized timer.
