TITLE:
SUSE update for kernel

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA32443

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/32443/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation, DoS

WHERE:
>From remote

OPERATING SYSTEM:
openSUSE 11.0
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/19180/

DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued an update for the kernel. This fixes some
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially gain escalated
privileges, and by malicious people to cause a DoS.

For more information:
SA32124

A vulnerability is caused due an integer overflow within the
"sctp_setsockopt_auth_key()" function in net/sctp/socket.c, which can
be exploited to e.g. cause a DoS via a specially crafted
"sca_keylength" field associated with the SCTP_AUTH_KEY option.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.
