Kernel Update for Slackware Linux

Security 10943 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

New kernels are available for Slackware 9.0, 9.1 and -current. The 9.1 and -current kernels have been upgraded to 2.4.24, and a fix has been backported to the 2.4.21 kernels in Slackware 9.0 to fix a bounds-checking problem in the kernel's mremap() call which could be used by a local attacker to gain root privileges. Sites should upgrade to the 2.4.24 kernel and kernel modules. After installing the new kernel, be sure to run 'lilo'.
