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