[SECURITY] Fedora 7 Update: kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-1130 2007-07-20 12:33:20.969212 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : kernel Product : Fedora 7 Version : 2.6.22.1 Release : 27.fc7 Summary : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system) Description : The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Rebase kernel to 2.6.22.1: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.1 Includes the CFS scheduler from upstream kernel 2.6.23. Users should update to the latest autofs package with this kernel or autofs will use excessive amounts of CPU time. CVE-2007-3642: The decode_choice function in net/netfilter/bf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an encoded, out-of-range index value for a choice field, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jul 17 2007 John W.
