Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2, 11.3 ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds - kernel Vulnerabilities in the kernel were found that allow local users to gain root privileges on 64bit systems. Updates for all supported distributions are in the works (CVE-2010-3301, CVE-2010-3081). ______________________________________________________________________________ 3) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information - Announcement authenticity verification: SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify replacing with the name of the file containing the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team " where is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. The internal RPM package signatures provide aneasy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig to verify the signature of the package, replacing with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from

The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify replacing with the name of the file containing the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team " where is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. The internal RPM package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig to verify the signature of the package, replacing with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from
