SuSE 8.2 security update for kernel
Description
The system is missing one or more SuSE security patches. This update fixes following security issues: - CAN-2004-1068: Missing serialization in unix_dgram_recvmsg() could lead to elevated privileges, making it possible for a local attacker to gain root access. Thanks to Paul Starzetz for pointing out this problem. - CAN-2004-1016: Missing integer overflow checks in sendmsg / control message handling allows a local attacker to crash or halt the machine. This was independent found by Paul Starzetz and Georgi Guninski, and fixed by Herbert Xu. - A memory leak in the IP option handling in the sendmsg() system call that was reported by Georgi Guninski.
