Synopsis: Important: Updated kernel packages for Scientific Linux 3.0.x Issue date: 2007-06-11 CVE Names: CVE-2006-5823 CVE-2006-6054 CVE-2007-1592 There were no new features introduced by this update. The only changes that have been included address critical customer needs or security issues (elaborated below). Key areas affected by fixes in this update include the networking subsystem, dcache handling, the ext2 and ext3 file systems, the USB subsystem, ACPI handling, and the audit subsystem. There were also several isolated fixes in the tg3, e1000, megaraid_sas, and aacraid device drivers. The following security bugs were fixed in this update: * a flaw in the cramfs file system that allowed invalid compressed data to cause memory corruption (CVE-2006-5823, low) * a flaw in the ext2 file system that allowed an invalid inode size to cause a denial of service (system hang) (CVE-2006-6054, low) * a flaw in IPV6 flow label handling that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service (crash) (CVE-2007-1592, important) SL 3.0.x SRPMS: kernel-2.4.21-50.EL.src.rpm i386: kernel-2.4.21-50.EL.athlon.rpm kernel-2.4.21-50.EL.i686.rpm kernel-BOOT-2.4.21-50.EL.i386.rpm kernel-doc-2.4.21-50.EL.i386.rpm kernel-hugemem-2.4.21-50.EL.i686.rpm kernel-hugemem-unsupported-2.4.21-50.EL.i686.rpm kernel-smp-2.4.21-50.EL.athlon.rpm kernel-smp-2.4.21-50.EL.i686.rpm kernel-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-50.EL.athlon.rpm kernel-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-50.EL.i686.rpm kernel-source-2.4.21-50.EL.i386.rpm kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-50.EL.athlon.rpm kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-50.EL.i686.rpm Dependancies: kernel-module-openafs-2.4.21-50.EL-1.2.13-15.17.SL.athlon.rpm kernel-module-openafs-2.4.21-50.EL-1.2.13-15.17.SL.i686.rpm kernel-module-openafs-2.4.21-50.ELsmp-1.2.13-15.17.SL.athlon.rpm kernel-module-openafs-2.4.21-50.ELsmp-1.2.13-15.17.SL.i686.rpm GFS-6.0.2.36-2.i686.rpm GFS-devel-6.0.2.36-2.i686.rpm GFS-modules-6.0.2.36-2.i686.rpm GFS-modules-hugemem-6.0.2.36-2.i686.rpm GFS-modules-smp-6.0.2.36-2.i686.rpm x86_64: kernel-2.4.21-50.EL.ia32e.rpm kernel-2.4.21-50.EL.x86_64.rpm kernel-doc-2.4.21-50.EL.x86_64.rpm kernel-smp-2.4.21-50.EL.x86_64.rpm kernel-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-50.EL.x86_64.rpm kernel-source-2.4.21-50.EL.x86_64.rpm kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-50.EL.ia32e.rpm kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-50.EL.x86_64.rpm Dependancies: kernel-module-openafs-2.4.21-50.EL-1.2.13-15.17.SL.ia32e.rpm kernel-module-openafs-2.4.21-50.EL-1.2.13-15.17.SL.x86_64.rpm kernel-module-openafs-2.4.21-50.ELsmp-1.2.13-15.17.SL.x86_64.rpm GFS-6.0.2.36-2.x86_64.rpm GFS-devel-6.0.2.36-2.x86_64.rpm GFS-modules-6.0.2.36-2.x86_64.rpm GFS-modules-smp-6.0.2.36-2.x86_64.rpm -Connie Sieh -Troy Dawson
