Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : kernel
Version : 2.6.10
Release : 1.737_FC3
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.
This update rebases the kernel to match the upstream 2.6.10 release, and adds a number of security fixes by means of adding the latest -ac patch.
CAN-2004-1235
Paul Starzetz from isec.pl found a problem in the binary format loaders uselib() function that could lead to potential priveledge escalation.

NO-CAN-ASSIGNED

- An integer overflow in the random poolsize sysctl handler.
- SCSI ioctl integer overflow and information leak.
- RLIMIT_MEMLOCK bypass and unprivileged user DoS.
NO-CAN-ASSIGNED
Coverity Inc. found a number of bugs with their automated source checker in coda, xfs, network bridging, rose network protocol, and the sdla wan driver.
