SUSE Security Update: Security update for Linux kernel ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2013:0845-1 Rating: critical References: #821560 Cross-References: CVE-2013-2850 Affected Products: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 for VMware SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 11 SP2 SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 11 SP2 SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP2 SLE 11 SERVER Unsupported Extras ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available. It includes two new package versions. Description: The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 Realtime kernel has been updated to fix a critical security issue. * 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). Security Issue reference: * CVE-2013-2850 Indications: Everyone using the Real Time Linux Kernel on x86_64 architecture should update. Special Instructions and Notes: Please reboot the system after installing this update. Patch Instructions: To install this SUSE Security Update use YaST online_update.
