---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 6
Name : kernel
Version : 2.6.20
Release : 1.2944.fc6
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:
Updated to upstream linux kernel 2.6.20.6:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.5
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.6
CVE-2007-1357:
The atalk_sum_skb function in AppleTalk for Linux kernel
2.6.x before 2.6.21, and possibly 2.4.x, allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an
AppleTalk frame that is shorter than the specified length,
which triggers a BUG_ON call when an attempt is made to
perform a checksum.
CVSS Severity: 3.3 (Low)
Plus additional fixes:
Bugfix for ATI SB600 SATA
Routing bugfix
Libata LBA48 bugfix
Update libata NCQ blacklist
Libata request sense bugfix
SCSI error handler fix
