    An update that solves one vulnerability and has two fixes is now available. It includes one version update.

    Description:


    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel has been updated to
    fix two issues:

    One severe security issue:

    * CVE-2013-0871: A race condition in ptrace(2) could be
    used by local attackers to crash the kernel and/or execute
    code in kernel context.

    One severe regression issue:

    * A regression in UNIX domain socket credential
    passing. The default disabling of passing credentials
    caused regression in some software packages that did not
    expect this. One major software package affected by this
    was the Open Enterprise Server stack.

    Security Issue reference:

    * CVE-2013-0871
    >

    Indications:

    Everyone using the Linux Kernel on x86_64 architecture should update.
