The mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event function in mm/memcontrol.c in the Linux kernel before 3.2.10 does not properly handle multiple events that are attached to the same eventfd, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by registering memory threshold events.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel has been updated to 3.0.26, which fixes a lot of bugs and security issues.

The following security issues have been fixed :

  - A locking problem in transparent hugepage support could     be used by local attackers to potentially crash the     host, or via kvm a privileged guest user could crash the     kvm host system. (CVE-2012-1179)

  - A potential hypervisor escape by issuing SG_IO commands     to partitiondevices was fixed by restricting access to     these commands. (CVE-2011-4127)

    (CVE-2011-1083)

  - The regset common infrastructure assumed that regsets     would always have .get and .set methods, but necessarily     .active methods. Unfortunately people have since written     regsets without .set method, so NULL pointer dereference     attacks were possible. (CVE-2012-1097)
