kernel Linux Kernel security update Linux Kernel Security Update This kernel update fixes the following security problems: - CVE-2007-1000 A NULL pointer dereference in the IPv6 sockopt handling can be used by local attackers to read arbitrary kernel memory and so gain access to private information. - CVE-2007-1388 A NULL pointer dereference could be used by local attackers to cause a Oops / crash of the machine. - CVE-2007-1592 A possible double free in the ipv6/flowlabel handling was fixed. - CVE-2007-1357 A remote denial of service attack in the AppleTalk protocol handler was fixed. This attack is only possible on the local subnet, and requires the AppleTalk protocol module to be loaded (which is not done by default). and the following non security bugs: - patches.fixes/visor_write_race.patch: fix race allowing overstepping memory limit in visor_write (Mainline: 2.6.21) - patches.drivers/libata-ide-via-add-PCI-IDs: via82cxxx/pata_via: backport PCI IDs (254158). - libata: implement HDIO_GET_IDENTITY (255413). - sata_sil24: Add Adaptec 1220SA PCI ID. (Mainline: 2.6.21) - ide: backport hpt366 from devel tree (244502). - mm: fix madvise infinine loop (248167). - libata: hardreset on SERR_INTERNAL (241334). - limited WPA support for prism54 (207944) - jmicron: match class instead of function number (224784, 207707) - ahci: RAID mode SATA patch for Intel ICH9M (Mainline: 2.6.21) - libata: blacklist FUJITSU MHT2060BH for NCQ (Mainline: 2.6.21) - libata: add missing PM callbacks. (Mainline: 2.6.20) - patches.fixes/nfs-readdir-timestamp: Set meaningful value for fattr->time_start in readdirplus results. (244967). - patches.fixes/usb_volito.patch: wacom volito tablet not working (#248832). - patches.fixes/965-fix: fix detection of aperture size versus GTT size on G965 (#258013). - patches.fixes/sbp2-MODE_SENSE-fix.diff: use proper MODE SENSE, fixes recognition of device properties (261086) - patches.fixes/ipt_CLUSTERIP_refcnt_fix: ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c - refcnt fix (238646) - patches.fixes/reiserfs-fix-vs-13060.diff: reiserfs: fix corruption with vs-13060 (257735). - patches.drivers/ati-rs400_200-480-disable-msi: pci-quirks: disable MSI on RS400-200 and RS480 (263893). - patches.drivers/libata-ahci-ignore-interr-on-SB600: ahci.c: walkaround for SB600 SATA internal error issue (#264792). Furthermore, CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS has been re-enabled to allow use of USB in legacy applications like VMWare. (#210899).

Weiterhin wurde CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS wieder angeschaltet, um z.B. die Benutzung von USB in VMWare zu ermöglichen (#210899). security This update can be used to install a new kernel. If you decide to use the kernel update, we recommend that you reboot your system upon completion of the YaST Online Update, as additional kernel modules may be needed which can only be loaded after the system is rebooted. kernel-bigsmp i586 112aee8e38c7b4752f6ee7049602b5c1dd8ba720 kernel-default i586 823fa47721e855ce3a058712b70c3b9f0cfbfb45 kernel-default ppc f00bb4286cb5c4b3836541eb115a7f5820b4bf1c kernel-default x86_64 efb13e23638f57c56b2201edd2bfba590984697a kernel-iseries64 ppc 2e89114e457f1e145c12fe37cfbeea464a2d0f28 kernel-ppc64 ppc 12d9ab6027a457c0582ce1ed96ddd6da800c421f kernel-source i586 b2c04c8b082123878791e1e7e6c538f7509d7450 kernel-source ppc a24d62f8ec3e9b831c70bed7a840d60c9a3ba60c kernel-source x86_64 046d7d90714b09e1113a5d87bc613f218b93a962 kernel-syms i586 734168e1d2bcbddc41f8a327fdb3e45e72e53eb4 kernel-syms ppc 65c1a9fa0eb4b93318cc45111c102c8b587b82ab kernel-syms x86_64 15e02ffa5001e1c872c6076e8226cab10ef2b8ae kernel-xen i586 9126f2c90e4f15040330d83b7d8767e660f90c15 kernel-xen x86_64 23fd83fa6a4876767a1c4a0dd4c73b9953c62369 kernel-xenpae i586 8ade5d86f2aff00e9dd353f238a452e866eff4ad kernel-3128-patch-message-2 If you are using the LILO bootloader, please execute /sbin/lilo after installing the update kernel and prior to rebooting
