Hello.
Perhaps I am being paranoid, but I noticed that CVE-2014-2523 (severity rating 10.0) has been fixed in the linux kernel patch 3.10.36 / 2014.04.03 but not in the openSuse 12.3 kernel upgrade. I would like to fix this myself asap - is there any way that I could apply this patch myself? How do I do this? Do I download the kernel source, build it then apply the patch? Or simply fix this bit in the source and create a patch and install it?
I have developed two commercial windows packages but the linux stuff throws me for a loop at times. However, I really need to install this patch. Please point me in the right direction if possible. Last resort I can install 13.1 I guess but it is pretty new and I don't think this fix has been applied to it either.
Thanks for your help.
