Summary

This Linux kernel update fixes various security issues and bugs in the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP4 kernel. The following security issues have been fixed: * CVE-2012-2319: A memory corruption when mounting a hfsplus filesystem was fixed that could be used by local attackers able to mount filesystem to crash the system. * CVE-2012-2313: The dl2k network card driver lacked permission handling for some ethtool ioctls, which could allow local attackers to start/stop the network card. * CVE-2011-2928: The befs_follow_linkl function in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c in the Linux kernel did not validate the lenght attribute of long symlinsk, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer dereference and Ooops) by accessing a long symlink on a malformed Be filesystem. *
