Summary
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 3 Real Time Extension kernel has been updated to fix various bugs and security issues. The following security bugs have been fixed: * CVE-2012-2372: The rds_ib_xmit function in net/rds/ib_send.c in the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation in the Linux kernel 3.7.4 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON and kernel panic) by establishing an RDS connection with the source IP address equal to the IPoIB interfaces own IP address, as demonstrated by rds-ping. (bnc#767610) * CVE-2013-2929: The Linux kernel before 3.12.2 does not properly use the get_dumpable function, which allows local users to bypass intended ptrace restrictions or obtain sensitive information from IA64 scratch
