Name : kernel Product : Fedora 9 Version : 2.6.25.6 Release : 55.fc9 URL : http://www.kernel.org/ 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to kernel 2.6.25.6: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.25.5 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.25.6 CVE-2008-1673: The asn1 implementation in (a) the Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.36.6 and 2.6 before 2.6.25.5, as used in the cifs and ip_nat_snmp_basic modules; and (b) the gxsnmp package; does not properly validate length values during decoding of ASN.1 BER data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via (1) a length greater than the working buffer, which can lead to an unspecified overflow; (2) an oid length of zero, which can lead to an off-by-one error; or (3) an indefinite length for a primitive encoding. Bugs fixed: 447518 - Call to capget() overflows buffers 448056 - applesmc filling log file 450191 - DMA mode disabled for DVD drive, reverts to PIO4 439197 - thinkpad x61t crash when undocking 445761 - MacBook4,1 keyboard and trackpad do not work properly 447812 - Netlink messages from "tc" to sch_netem module are not interpreted correctly 449817 - SD card reader causes kernel panic during startup if card inserted 242208 - Freeze On Boot w/ Audigy PCMCIA 443552 - Kernel 2.6.25 + Wine = hang Additional bugs fixed: F8#224005 - pata_pcmcia fails F8#450499 - kernel-2.6.25.4-10.fc8 breaks setkey -m tunnel options in ipsec F8#445553 - DMAR (intel_iommu) broken on yet another machine Additional updates/fixes: - Upstream wireless updates from 2008-05-22 (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=121146112404515&w=2) - Upstream wireless fixes from 2008-05-28 (http://marc.info/?l=linux- wireless&m=121201250110162&w=2) - Fix oops in lirc_i2c module - Add lirc support for additional MCE receivers - Upstream wireless fixes from 2008-06-03 (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=121252137324941&w=2) - Add kernel 3D support for ATI Radeon R500 (X1300-X1950) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jun 10 2008 Roland McGrath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.6.25.6-54 - Fix spurious BUG_ON in tracehook_release_task.
