SUSE SLED11 / SLES11 Security Update : kernel (SUSE-SU-2014:0229-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 83610

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE 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 last update.

Regression fix :

- 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.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
