  • An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has 42 fixes is now available. It includes one version update.

    Description:

    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 kernel was updated to
    3.0.58, fixing various bugs and security issues.

    It contains the following feature enhancement:
    - Enable various md/raid10 and DASD enhancements.
    (FATE#311379) These make is possible for RAID10 to cope
    with DASD devices being slow for various reasons - the
    affected device will be temporarily removed from the
    array.

    Also added support for reshaping of RAID10 arrays.

    mdadm changes will be published to support this feature.

    The following security issues were fixed:
    - CVE-2012-4565: A division by zero in the TCP Illinois
    algorithm was fixed.

    - CVE-2012-0957: The UNAME26 personality leaked kernel
    memory information.

    - CVE-2012-4530: Kernel stack content was disclosed via
    binfmt_script load_script().
