New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)

Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The Linux kernel was updated to 3.4.33 and to fix a local root privilege escalation and various other security and non-security bugs.

CVE-2013-1763: A out of bounds access in sock_diag could be used by local attackers to execute code in kernel context and so become root.

CVE-2013-0160: The atime of /dev/ptmx is no longer updated, avoiding side channel attacks via user typing speed.

CVE-2012-5374: Denial of service via btrfs hashes could have been used by local attackers to cause a compute denial of service.

CVE-2013-0216: Fixed a problem in XEN netback: shutdown the ring if it contains garbage.

CVE-2013-0231: Fixed a problem in XEN pciback: rate limit error messages from xen_pcibk_enable_msi(x).

Solution

Update the affected kernel packages.
