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:
