1) Solved Security Vulnerabilities
To avoid flooding mailing lists with SUSE Security Announcements for minor
issues, SUSE Security releases weekly summary reports for the low profile
vulnerability fixes. The SUSE Security Summary Reports do not list or
download URLs like the SUSE Security Announcements that are released for
more severe vulnerabilities.
Fixed packages for the following incidents are already available on our FTP
server and via the YaST Online Update.
- virtualbox-ose
This update of virtualbox-ose fixes a memory consumption bug in the
kernel code that can be used to allocate almost all physical memory
(CVE-2009-3940).

- NetworkManager-gnome
nm-applet connected to WPA2 Enterprise networks even if the specified CA

if the --physical (-P) option was specified (CVE-2009-4411).
Affected Products: SLE11, openSUSE 11.0, 11.1
