______________________________________________________________________________

Announcement ID:    openSUSE-SU-2013:1005-1
Rating:             critical
References:         #790920 #821560 #822722

______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves one vulnerability and has two fixes
   is now available.

Description:


   The openSUSE 12.1 kernel was updated to fix a critical
   security issue and also some reiserfs bugs.

   CVE-2013-2850: Incorrect strncpy usage in the network
   listening part of the iscsi target driver could have been
   used by remote attackers to crash the kernel or execute
   code.

   This required the iscsi target running on the machine and
   the attacker able to make a network connection to it (aka
   not filtered by firewalls).


   Bugs:
   - reiserfs: fix spurious multiple-fill in
   reiserfs_readdir_dentry (bnc#822722).

   - reiserfs: fix problems with chowning setuid file w/
   xattrs (bnc#790920).
