Synopsis
The remote SuSE 11 host is missing one or more security updates.
Description
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel has been updated to 3.0.74 fix various security issues and bugs :
This update brings some features :
  - Updated HD-audio drivers for Nvidia/AMD HDMI and Haswell     audio (FATE#314311 FATE#313695)
  - Lustre enablement patches were added (FATE#314679).
  - SGI UV (Ultraviolet) platform support. (FATE#306952)     Security issues fixed in this update :
  - The hidp_setup_hid function in net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c     in the Linux kernel did not properly copy a certain name     field, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel memory by setting a long name     and making an HIDPCONNADD ioctl call. (CVE-2013-0349)
  - Buffer overflow in virt/kvm/irq_comm.c in the KVM     subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users to     cause a denial of service (crash) and to possibly     execute arbitrary code via vectors related to Message     Signaled Interrupts (MSI), irq routing entries, and an     incorrect check by the setup_routing_entry function     before invoking the kvm_set_irq function.
    (CVE-2012-2137)
  - The isofs_export_encode_fh function in fs/isofs/export.c     in the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain     structure member, which allowed local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel heap memory via a     crafted application. (CVE-2012-6549)
  - The udf_encode_fh function in fs/udf/namei.c in the     Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure     member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel heap memory via a crafted     application. (CVE-2012-6548)
  - Timing side channel on attacks were possible on     /dev/ptmx that could allow local attackers to predict     keypresses like e.g. passwords. This has been fixed by     not updating accessed/modified time on the pty devices.
    Note that this might break pty idle detection, so it     might get reverted again. (CVE-2013-0160)
  - The Xen netback functionality in the Linux kernel     allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (loop) by triggering ring pointer corruption.
    (CVE-2013-0216)
  - The pciback_enable_msi function in the PCI backend     driver (drivers/xen/pciback/conf_space_capability_msi.c)     in Xen for the Linux allowed guest OS users with PCI     device access to cause a denial of service via a large     number of kernel log messages. (CVE-2013-0231)
  - The translate_desc function in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in     the Linux kernel did not properly handle cross-region     descriptors, which allowed guest OS users to obtain host     OS privileges by leveraging KVM guest OS privileges.
    (CVE-2013-0311)
  - Integer overflow in     drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c in the i915     driver in the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem     in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     application that triggers many relocation copies, and     potentially leads to a race condition. (CVE-2013-0913)
  - The flush_signal_handlers function in kernel/signal.c in     the Linux kernel preserved the value of the sa_restorer     field across an exec operation, which makes it easier     for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism     via a crafted application containing a sigaction system     call. (CVE-2013-0914)
  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the shmem_remount_fs     function in mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel allowed local     users to gain privileges or to cause a denial of service     (system crash) by remounting a tmpfs filesystem without     specifying a required mpol (aka mempolicy) mount option.
    (CVE-2013-1767)
  - The log_prefix function in kernel/printk.c in the Linux     kernel 3.x did not properly remove a prefix string from     a syslog header, which allowed local users to cause a     denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) by     leveraging /dev/kmsg write access and triggering a     call_console_drivers function call. (CVE-2013-1772)
  - 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.
    (CVE-2013-1774)
  - Race condition in the install_user_keyrings function in     security/keys/process_keys.c in the Linux kernel allowed     local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and system crash) via crafted keyctl system     calls that trigger keyring operations in simultaneous     threads. (CVE-2013-1792)
  - The kvm_set_msr_common function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in     the Linux kernel did not ensure a required time_page     alignment during an MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME operation, which     allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (buffer overflow and host OS memory corruption) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     application. (CVE-2013-1796)
  - Use-after-free vulnerability in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in     the Linux kernel allowed guest OS users to cause a     denial of service (host OS memory corruption) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     application that triggers use of a guest physical     address (GPA) in (1) movable or (2) removable memory     during an MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME kvm_set_msr_common     operation. (CVE-2013-1797)
  - The ioapic_read_indirect function in virt/kvm/ioapic.c     in the Linux kernel did not properly handle a certain     combination of invalid IOAPIC_REG_SELECT and     IOAPIC_REG_WINDOW operations, which allows guest OS     users to obtain sensitive information from host OS     memory or cause a denial of service (host OS OOPS) via a     crafted application. (CVE-2013-1798)
  - fs/ext3/super.c in the Linux kernel used incorrect     arguments to functions in certain circumstances related     to printk input, which allowed local users to conduct     format-string attacks and possibly gain privileges via a     crafted application. (CVE-2013-1848)
  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the wdm_in_callback     function in drivers/usb/class/cdc-wdm.c in the Linux     kernel allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a     denial of service (system crash) or to possibly execute     arbitrary code via a crafted cdc-wdm USB device.
    (CVE-2013-1860)
  - net/dcb/dcbnl.c in the Linux kernel did not initialize     certain structures, which allowed local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a     crafted application. (CVE-2013-2634)
  - The rtnl_fill_ifinfo function in net/core/rtnetlink.c in     the Linux kernel did not initialize a certain structure     member, which allowed local users to obtain sensitive     information from kernel stack memory via a crafted     application. (CVE-2013-2635)
  - The msr_open function in arch/x86/kernel/msr.c in the     Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass intended     capability restrictions by executing a crafted     application as root, as demonstrated by msr32.c.
    (CVE-2013-0268)
