The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 kernel has been
updated to version 3.0.93 and includes various bug and
security fixes.

The following security bugs have been fixed:

CVE-2013-2148: The fill_event_metadata function in
fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c in the Linux kernel did
not initialize a certain structure member, which allowed
local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel
memory via a read operation on the fanotify descriptor.

CVE-2013-2237: The key_notify_policy_flush function
in net/key/af_key.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize
a certain structure member, which allowed local users to
obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by
reading a broadcast message from the notify_policy
interface of an IPSec key_socket.

CVE-2013-2232: The ip6_sk_dst_check function in
net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by using
an AF_INET6 socket for a connection to an IPv4 interface.

CVE-2013-2234: The (1) key_notify_sa_flush and (2)
key_notify_policy_flush functions in net/key/af_key.c in
the Linux kernel did not initialize certain structure
members, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive
information from kernel heap memory by reading a broadcast
message from the notify interface of an IPSec key_socket.

CVE-2013-4162: The udp_v6_push_pending_frames
function in net/ipv6/udp.c in the IPv6 implementation in
the Linux kernel made an incorrect function call for
pending data, which allowed local users to cause a denial
of service (BUG and system crash) via a crafted application
that uses the UDP_CORK option in a setsockopt system call.

CVE-2013-1059: net/ceph/auth_none.c in the Linux
kernel allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or
possibly have unspecified other impact via an auth_reply
message that triggers an attempted build_request operation.

CVE-2013-2164: The mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data function
in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c in the Linux kernel allowed local
users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory
via a read operation on a malfunctioning CD-ROM drive.

CVE-2013-2851: Format string vulnerability in the
register_disk function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel
allowed local users to gain privileges by leveraging root
access and writing format string specifiers to
/sys/module/md_mod/parameters/new_array in order to create
a crafted /dev/md device name.

CVE-2013-4163: The ip6_append_data_mtu function in
net/ipv6/ip6_output.c in the IPv6 implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly maintain information about
whether the IPV6_MTU setsockopt option had been specified,
which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (BUG
and system crash) via a crafted application that uses the
UDP_CORK option in a setsockopt system call.

CVE-2013-1929: Heap-based buffer overflow in the
tg3_read_vpd function in
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c in the Linux kernel
allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code
via crafted firmware that specifies a long string in the
Vital Product Data (VPD) data structure.

CVE-2013-1819: The _xfs_buf_find function in
fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c in the Linux kernel did not validate block
numbers, which allowed local users to cause a denial of
service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or
possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the
ability to mount an XFS filesystem containing a metadata
inode with an invalid extent map.

CVE-2013-1774: The chase_port function in
drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c in the Linux kernel allowed
local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference and system crash) via an attempted /dev/ttyUSB
read or write operation on a disconnected Edgeport USB
serial converter.
