RHSA-2005:420-01: Updated kernel packages available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 1

Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 06/08/2005 11:08 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Updated kernel packages are available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Updated kernel packages available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 1
Advisory ID: RHSA-2005:420-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-420.html
Issue date: 2005-06-08
Updated on: 2005-06-08
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2005-0136 CAN-2005-1264
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated kernel packages are now available as part of ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4. This is the first regular update.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, noarch, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, noarch, x86_64




3. Problem description:

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.

This is the first regular kernel update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

A flaw affecting the auditing code was discovered. On Itanium architectures a local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash). This issue is rated as having important security impact (CAN-2005-0136).

A flaw was discovered in the servicing of a raw device ioctl. A local user who has access to raw devices could use this flaw to write to kernel memory and cause a denial of service or potentially gain privileges. This issue is rated as having moderate security impact (CAN-2005-1264).

New features introduced by this update include:
- - Fixed TCP BIC congestion handling.
- - Diskdump support for more controllers (megaraid, SATA)
- - Device mapper multipath support
- - AMD64 dual core support.
- - Intel ICH7 hardware support.

There were many bug fixes in various parts of the kernel. The ongoing effort to resolve these problems has resulted in a marked improvement in the reliability and scalability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

The following device drivers have been upgraded to new versions:
ata_piix -------- 1.03
bonding --------- 2.6.1
e1000 ----------- 5.6.10.1-k2-NAPI
e100 ------------ 3.3.6-k2-NAPI
ibmveth --------- 1.03
libata ---------- 1.02 to 1.10
lpfc ------------ 0:8.0.16 to 0:8.0.16.6_x2
megaraid_mbox --- 2.20.4.0 to 2.20.4.5
megaraid_mm ----- 2.20.2.0-rh1 to 2.20.2.5
sata_nv --------- 0.03 to 0.6
sata_promise ---- 1.00 to 1.01
sata_sil -------- 0.8
sata_sis -------- 0.5
sata_svw -------- 1.05
sata_sx4 -------- 0.7
sata_via -------- 1.0
sata_vsc -------- 1.0
tg3 ------------- 3.22-rh
ipw2100 --------- 1.0.3
ipw2200 --------- 1.0.0

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:

up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system:
