-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-5893 2008-07-04 02:08:45 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : kernel Product : Fedora 9 Version : 2.6.25.9 Release : 76.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 kernel from version 2.6.25.6 to 2.6.25.9: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.25.7 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.25.8 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.25.9 Security updates: CVE-2008-2750: The pppol2tp_recvmsg function in drivers/net/pppol2tp.c in the Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.26-rc6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel heap memory corruption and system crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PPPOL2TP packet that results in a large value for a certain length variable. CVE-2008-2358: The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and probably other versions, does not properly check feature lengths, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, related to an unspecified "overflow."
