Security update for the Linux Kernel

An update that solves 29 vulnerabilities and has 61 security fixes can now be installed.

Description:

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.

Notable changes in this kernel: - It is now possible to mount a NFS export on the exporting host directly.
