From 'SUSE Security Annoncements':


"2) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds

- Local root exploit in Linux kernel
The Mitre CVE ID CVE-2006-2451 is referencing a local root exploit
using the prctl() system call.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, Novell Linux Desktop 9, Open Enterprise
Server, SUSE Linux 10.0, SUSE Linux 10.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise
(Server and Desktop) 10 are affected by this problem.

We are preparing updates for this problem, but they will take at
least a week due to QA turnaround times.


Temporary Kernel updates can be gotten from our Kernel Of The Day
repository (unsupported):

SLES9, NLD9 and OES:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/sles9-<arch>/SLES9_SP3_BRANCH/

SUSE Linux 10.0:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/10.0-<arch>/SL100_BRANCH/

SUSE Linux 10.1, SLE10: No fixed kernel of the day available
currently."

Thank You for your answer.
