Details

A local denial of service attack and root compromise of the kernel have
been corrected, drivers have been updated, and NFS version 3 has been
integrated.

All Linux kernels prior to version 2.2.19 include possibilities for local
denial of service or root exploits by exercising race conditions between
the ptrace, exec, and/or suid system calls. Additionally, the sysctl
system call included programming errors allowing a user to write to kernel
memory. The 2.2.19 kernel fixes these problems.

Minor potential problems in the virtual memory and signal delivery
subsystems are also corrected.

Many drivers have been updated since the release of 2.2.17, our last
official kernel release, including but not limited to: 3c59x, AGP, CS46xx,
DAC960, EMU10K, Maestro 3, NE2000/PCI, Tulip, and various USB devices.
The
missing Intel E100 driver is now included. A hang while booting on some
computers due inadvertent inclusion of a toshiba driver has been fixed.

Finally, support for NFS version 3 has been included, which has much
improved performance characteristics compared to earlier versions. In
order to support this, new versions of nfs-utils and mount are required.

2001-04-17: missing rpc.rquotad added to nfs-utils. This is only
necessary for those using disk quotas withi NFS.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

The procedure for upgrading the kernel is documented at:

http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/kernel-upgrade/kernel-upgrade.html

Please read the directions for your architecture carefully before
proceeding with the kernel upgrade.
