1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion
The openSUSE 11.0 kernel was updated to fix following security issues:
CVE-2009-4020: Stack-based buffer overflow in the hfs subsystem in the
Linux kernel 2.6.32 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact
via a crafted Hierarchical File System (HFS) filesystem, related to the
hfs_readdir function in fs/hfs/dir.c.
CVE-2010-0307: The load_elf_binary function in fs/binfmt_elf.c in the
Linux kernel before 2.6.32.8 on the x86_64 platform does not ensure that
the ELF interpreter is available before a call to the SET_PERSONALITY
macro, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system
crash) via a 32-bit application that attempts to execute a 64-bit
application and then triggers a segmentation fault, as demonstrated by
amd64_killer, related to the flush_old_exec function.
CVE-2010-0622: The wake_futex_pi function in kernel/futex.c in the
Linux kernel before 2.6.33-rc7 does not properly handle certain unlock
operations for a Priority Inheritance (PI) futex, which allows local
users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) and possibly have unspecified
other impact via vectors involving modification of the futex value from
user space.
CVE-2010-0410: drivers/connector/connector.c in the Linux kernel
before 2.6.32.8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory
consumption and system crash) by sending the kernel many NETLINK_CONNECTOR
messages.
CVE-2010-0415: The do_pages_move function in mm/migrate.c in the Linux
kernel before 2.6.33-rc7 does not validate node values, which allows
local users to read arbitrary kernel memory locations, cause a denial of
service (OOPS), and possibly have unspecified other impact by specifying
a node that is not part of the kernel's node set.
2) Solution or Work-Around
There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.
3) Special Instructions and Notes
Please reboot the machine after installing the update.
4) Package Location and Checksums
The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST
Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and
automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them.
Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually
and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this
announcement. Then install the packages using the command
rpm -Fhv
to apply the update, replacing with the filename of the
downloaded RPM package.

6) 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 where you saved 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 the 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 build@suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.
This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on
RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during
installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at
the end of this announcement.
- SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
subscribe:
opensuse-security@opensuse.org
- General Linux and SUSE security discussion.
All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list.
To subscribe, send an e-mail to

opensuse-security-announce@opensuse.org
- SUSE's announce-only mailing list.
Only SUSE's security announcements are sent to this list.
