4.6 MediumFix available
The __nfs4_get_acl_uncached function in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c in the NFSv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.3.2 uses an incorrect length variable during a copy operation, which allows remote NFS servers to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by sending an excessive number of bitmap words in an FATTR4_ACL reply. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-4131.

Security update for Linux kernel
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 kernel was updated to fix a regression introduced by the previous update:
* scsi_dh_alua: Incorrect reference counting in the SCSI ALUA
initialization code lead to system crashes on boot (bnc#858831).
As the update introducing the regression was marked security, this is also marked security even though this bug is not security relevant.
