   An update that contains security fixes can now be
   installed. It includes one version update.

Description:

   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 kernel was
   updated to fix a regression introduced by the last update.

   Regression fix:
   - scsi_dh_alua: Incorrect reference counting in the SCSI
   ALUA initialization code lead to system crashes on boot
   (bnc#858831).

   As the update introducing the regression was marked
   security, this is also marked security even though this bug
   is not security relevant.

Indications:

   Everyone using the Linux Kernel on x86_64 architecture should update.

Special Instructions and Notes:

   Please reboot the system after installing this update.
