Insight
Insight
Sebastian Krahmer of SUSE Security identified a problem in udevd with handling of netlink messages. Local attackers could inject netlink messages due to a missing origin check where only the kernel should have been able to and so are able to escalate privileges. (CVE-2009-1185) Fixed packages have been released to address this issue for openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP2 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 11. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and Novell Linux Desktop 9 are not affected by this problem.
