DESCRIPTION:
SUSE has issued an update for the kernel. This fixes some weaknesses,
security issues and vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by
malicious, local users to bypass certain security restrictions,
disclose system and potentially sensitive information, cause a DoS
(Denial of Service), conduct DNS cache poisoning attacks, and gain
escalated privileges, and by malicious people to cause a DoS.

1) A race condition within the "find_keyring_by_name()" function in
security/keys/keyring.c can be exploited to access freed memory and
e.g. cause a system panic.

2) The "btrfs_ioctl_clone()" function in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c does not
properly check a user's read access to the source file before cloning
the file, which can be exploited to e.g. disclose sensitive
information.

3) An error exists within the "do_gfs2_set_flags()" function, which
can be exploited to change certain file attributes of files on an
GFS2 file system.

4) An error in btrfs allows local users to set ACLs for arbitrary
files.

5) An error exists within eCryptfs when generating hash values, which
can be exploited to e.g. cause a kernel panic or gain escalated
privileges.

6) Errors within the implementation of the External Data
Representation (XDR) for NFSv4 can be exploited to cause a kernel
panic and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially
crafted compound requests to the NFSv4 server.

7) Incorrect permission checks within the "btrfs_ioctl_clone()"
function in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c can be exploited to overwrite
append-only files.

8) An integer overflow within the "btrfs_ioctl_clone()" function in
fs/btrfs/ioctl.c can be exploited to e.g. disclose sensitive
information.

9) An error within the GFS2 file system when handing certain rename
operations can be exploited to cause a kernel crash.

10) An error exists within the "keyctl_session_to_parent()" function
in security/keys/keyctl.c, which can be exploited to cause a NULL
pointer dereference by e.g. calling "keyctl()" with
KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.
