Please Install the Updated Packages.

This updated openSUSE 11.3 kernel fixes the following security bugs: CVE-2010-3310: local users could corrupt kernel heap memory via ROSE sockets. CVE-2010-2962: local users could write to any kernel memory location via the i915 GEM ioctl interface. Exploitability requires the presence of a i915 compatible graphics card. Additionally the update restores the compat_alloc_userspace() inline function and includes several other bug fixes.
