Summary
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 3 kernel was updated to 3.0.82 and to fix various bugs and security issues. Following security issues were fixed: CVE-2013-1774: 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-2013-0160: 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 again by updating accessed/modified time on the pty devices in resolution of 8 seconds, so that idle time detection can still work. CVE-2013-3222: The vcc_recvmsg function in net/atm/common.c
