Fedora Core 1 2003-026: kernel |
||
Check for the version of the kernel package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2003-026 (kernel). The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your Red Hat Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc. The kernel shipped with Fedora Core 1 was vulnerable to a bug in the error return on a concurrent fork() with threaded exit() which could be exploited by a user level program to crash the kernel. In addition to this bug fix, the changelog below details various other non security fixes that have been added. * Mon Dec 01 2003 Dave Jones - sys_tgkill wasn't enabled on IA32. * Sun Nov 30 2003 Dave Jones - Process scheduler fix. When doing sync wakeups we must not skip the notification of other cpus if the task is not on this runqueue. * Wed Nov 26 2003 Justin M. Forbes <64bit_fedora@comcast.net> - Merge required ia32 syscalls for AMD64 - [f]truncate64 for 32bit code fix * Mon Nov 24 2003 Dave Jones - Fix power-off on shutdown with ACPI. - Add missing part of recent cmpci fix - Drop CONFIG_NR_CPUS patch which was problematic. - Fold futex-fix into main futex patch. - Fix TG3 tqueue initialisation. - Various NPTL fixes. * Fri Nov 14 2003 Dave Jones - Drop netfilter change which proved to be bad upstream. * Thu Nov 13 2003 Justin M. Forbes <64bit_fedora@comcast.net> - Fix NForce3 DMA and ATA133 on AMD64 * Wed Nov 12 2003 Dave Jones - Fix syscall definitions on AMD64 * Tue Nov 11 2003 Dave Jones - Fix Intel 440GX Interrupt routing. - Fix waitqueue leak in cmpci driver. * Mon Nov 10 2003 Dave Jones - Kill noisy warnings in the DRM modules. - Merge munged upstream x86-64.org patch for various AMD64 fixes. * Mon Nov 03 2003 Dave Jones - Further cleanups related to AMD64 build. * Fri Oct 31 2003 Dave Jones - Make AMD64 build.
