Description: SuSE has issued updated packages for the kernel. These fix two vulnerabilities, which may disclose sensitive information to malicious, local users or allow them to gain escalated privileges. For more information: SA10532 SA10533 The patches additionally fix a vulnerability discovered by Andy Kleen of SuSE. An error in the 32-bit emulation af "ptrace()" can be exploited by malicious, local users to manipulate CPU registers from user-space and thereby gain escalated privileges. Solution: Updated packages: Please note that special installation instructions apply to SuSE 8.1 (see original advisory for details).
