- Updated kernel packages are now available that fix a few security issues,
- an NFS performance issue, and an e1000 driver loading issue introduced in
- Update 3.
-
- The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
-
- Alan Cox found issues in the R128 Direct Render Infrastructure that
- could allow local privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and
- Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0003 to
- this issue.
-
- The C-Media PCI sound driver in Linux before 2.4.22 does not use the
- get_user function to access userspace in certain conditions, which crosses
- security boundaries. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
- (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0700 to this issue.
-
- An overflow was found in the ixj telephony card driver in Linux kernels
- prior to 2.4.20. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
- (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-1574 to this issue.
-
- All users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain
- backported security patches that corrects these issues. These packages
- also contain a fix to enhance NFS performance, which was degraded in the
- last kernel update as part of Update 3.
