Name : kernel
Product : Fedora 7
Version : 2.6.22.1
Release : 27.fc7
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:
Rebase kernel to 2.6.22.1:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.1
Includes the CFS scheduler from upstream kernel 2.6.23.
Users should update to the latest autofs package with this kernel or autofs will use excessive amounts of CPU time.
CVE-2007-3642:
The decode_choice function in net/netfilter/bf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an encoded, out-of-range index value for a choice field, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
