Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The openSUSE 12.3 kernel was updated to fix a critical security issue and two reiserfs bugs. CVE-2013-2850: Incorrect strncpy usage in the network listening part of the iscsi target driver could have been used by remote attackers to crash the kernel or execute code.

Affected Software/OS: kernel on openSUSE 12.3 Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.9 CVSS Vector: AV:A/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
