- Updated kernel packages that address various security vulnerabilities, fix
- a
- number of bugs, and update various drivers are now available.
-
- The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
-
- The execve system call in Linux 2.4.x records the file descriptor of the
- executable process in the file table of the calling process, which allows
- local users to gain read access to restricted file descriptors. The Common
- Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
- CAN-2003-0476 to this issue.
-
- A number of bugfixes are included, including important fixes for the ext3
- file system and timer code.
-
- New features include limited support for non-cached NFS file sytems, Serial
- ATA (SATA) devices, and new alt-sysreq debugging options.
-
- In addition, the following drivers have been updated:
-
- - e100 2.3.30-k1
- - e1000 5.2.20-k1
- - fusion 2.05.05+
- - ips 6.10.52
- - aic7xxx 6.2.36
- - aic79xxx 1.3.10
- - megaraid 2 2.00.9
- - cciss 2.4.49
-
- All users are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain
- backported patches addressing these issues.
