    SUSE update for kernel

    SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
    SA38017

    VERIFY ADVISORY:
    http://secunia.com/advisories/38017/

    DESCRIPTION:
    SUSE has issued an update for the kernel. This fixes some security
    issues and vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious,
    local users to manipulate certain data, cause a DoS (Denial of
    Service), and potentially gain escalated privileges, and by malicious
    people to cause a DoS.

    For more information:
    SA37086
    SA37233
    SA37357
    SA37435
    SA37590
    SA37658

    1) A vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "ip_defrag()"
    function in net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c, which may be exploited to cause a
    NULL pointer dereference by sending overly large packets to a
    vulnerable system.

    SOLUTION:
    Apply updated packages.
