The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel has been updated to
fix two issues:

One severe security issue:

CVE-2013-0871: A race condition in ptrace(2) could be
used by local attackers to crash the kernel and/or execute
code in kernel context.

One severe regression issue:

A regression in UNIX domain socket credential
passing. The default disabling of passing credentials
caused regression in some software packages that did not
expect this. One major software package affected by this
was the Open Enterprise Server stack.
