SuSE 11.2 Security Update : Linux kernel (SAT Patch Numbers 8865 / 8868 / 8875)

high Nessus Plugin ID 72478

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 11 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 kernel was updated to fix a regression introduced by the previous update :

 - scsi_dh_alua: Incorrect reference counting in the SCSI ALUA initialization code lead to system crashes on boot (bnc#858831). As the update introducing the regression was marked security, this is also marked security even though this bug is not security relevant.

Solution

Apply SAT patch number 8865 / 8868 / 8875 as appropriate.
