- This kernel update is available for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1.
-
- It includes a fix for an information security bug, various kernel bug
- fixes, and updated device drivers.
-
- [2002-07-29] This release is a rebuild for adding exported symbols for
- Veritas.
-
- This kernel fixes an information security bug. When running enterprise
- kernels previous to version 2.4.9-e.8, information in the Intel SSE XMM
- registers could "leak" between processes under certain circumstances.
-
- This update also includes fixes for the following bugs:
-
- - Creation of an Oracle SGA greater than 8 GB on 16 GB or greater machine
- when using bigpages and shmfs
- - Sendmail running out of flocks
- - Unreliable rebooting with the "reboot=bios" boot option
- - Potential memory corruption on systems with more than 4 GB
- - An AIO write deadlock
- - IOAPIC warnings on one platform
- - Potentially miscompiled code in xor.h (though kernel engineering
- research does not indicate that our compiler miscompiles this code)
-
- This kernel also has extra exported symbols removed.
-
- This new kernel also includes several updated device drivers. The
- aic7xxx_mod driver has been updated to a new version, fixing several
- bugs, the tg3 driver has also been updated to a new version to fix various
- bugs, and the qla2300 driver has some small bug fixes and has been updated
- to work with the QLogic 2340 HBA and PowerVault 660F arrays. Additions to
- the SCSI LUNs "white list" have also been made to support more fibre
- channel arrays.
