sledp3-kernelSecurity update for kernel-debug
This SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP3 kernel update (for x86_64 only)
fixes a severe regression introduced by the previous bugfix
that would make some machines not boot due to iommu / AGP memory
issues.
The update also fixes several other bugs and the following security issue:
CVE-2009-4537: drivers/net/r8169.c in the r8169 driver in the Linux
kernel 2.6.32.3 and earlier does not properly check the size of an
Ethernet frame that exceeds the MTU, which allows remote attackers to
(1) cause a denial of service (temporary network outage) via a packet
with a crafted size, in conjunction with certain packets containing A
characters and certain packets containing E characters; or (2) cause
a denial of service (system crash) via a packet with a crafted size,
in conjunction with certain packets containing '0' characters, related
to the value of the status register and erroneous behavior associated
with the RxMaxSize register.

This update can be used to install a new kernel.
If you decide to use the kernel update, we recommend that you reboot
your system upon completion of the YaST Online Update, as additional
kernel modules may be needed which can only be loaded after the system
is rebooted.
If you are in the course of performing a new installation, the installer
will reboot the machine after installing the patch. If you do not want
to reboot, deselect this patch.
