Synopsis:	Important: kernel security and bug fix update
Issue date:	2011-02-16
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-4527 CVE-2010-4655 CVE-2011-0521

This update fixes the following security issues:

* A buffer overflow flaw was found in the load_mixer_volumes() function 
in the Linux kernel's Open Sound System (OSS) sound driver. On 64-bit 
PowerPC systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause 
a denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-4527, Important)

* A missing boundary check was found in the dvb_ca_ioctl() function in 
the Linux kernel's av7110 module. On systems that use old DVB cards that
require the av7110 module, a local, unprivileged user could use this 
flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. 
(CVE-2011-0521, Important)

* A missing initialization flaw was found in the ethtool_get_regs()
function in the Linux kernel's ethtool IOCTL handler. A local user who 
has the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this flaw to cause an 
information leak. (CVE-2010-4655, Low)

These updated kernel packages also fix hundreds of bugs and add numerous
enhancements.

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
