SuSE: samba security problems  22 May 2007 
The Samba server was affected by several security problems which have been fixed. Specially crafted MS-RPC packets could overwrite heap memory and therefore could potentially be exploited to execute code. Authenticated users could leverage specially crafted MS-RPC packets to pass arguments unfiltered to /bin/sh.
 
SuSE: Linux kernel (SUSE-SA:2007:030)  10 May 2007 
This kernel update is for SUSE Linux 9.3 which fixes the some security problems. The ftdi_sio driver allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by writing more data to the serial port than the hardware can handle, which causes the data to be queued. This requires this driver to be loaded, which only happens if such a device is plugged in.
 
SuSE: Linux kernel (SUSE-SA:2007:029)  03 May 2007 
A NULL pointer dereference in the IPv6 sockopt handling could potentially be used by local attackers to read arbitrary kernel memory and thereby gain access to private information.
 
SuSE: Opera 9.20 (SUSE-SA:2007:028)  24 April 2007 
Avoided a vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player.
 
SuSE: XFree86,Xorg (SUSE-SA:2007:027)  20 April 2007 
Several X security problems were fixed that could be used by local attackers to crash the X server or potentially to execute code as root user.
 
SuSE: clamav update (SUSE-SA:2007:026)  20 April 2007 
The AntiVirus scan engine clamav was updated to version 0.90.2. Among other bugs two security problems were fixed which could cause a remote denial of service attack against clamav or potentially be used to execute code.
 
SuSE: krb5 (SUSE-SA:2007:025)  05 April 2007
