Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-1284
Bugzilla https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1284
2004-02-21
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Name        : kernel
Version 7.x : 2.4.20-30.7.legacy
Version 8.0 : 2.4.20-30.8.legacy
Summary     : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)
Description :
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.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
 
CAN-2004-0077:
A flaw in return value checking in mremap() in the Linux kernel versions 
2.4.24 and previous that may allow a local attacker to gain root 
privileges. No exploit is currently available; however this issue is 
exploitable.
 
CAN-2004-0075:
The Vicam USB driver in kernel versions prior to 2.4.25 does not use the 
copy_from_user function to access userspace, which crosses security 
boundaries.
 
CAN-2004-0010:
A flaw in ncp_lookup() in ncpfs that could allow local privilege 
escalation. ncpfs is only used to allow a system to mount volumes of 
NetWare servers or print to NetWare printers.
 
CAN-2004-0003:
Issues in the R128 Direct Render Infrastructure that could allow local 
privilege escalation.
