Hello Samer,

For now I won't apply any of these kernel updates because I am not
absolutely sure yet what impact they will have. Perhaps later when 
I have liaised with the database administrators about the Oracle
applications which are currently not running since I rebooted the system
yesterday after the I ran up2date.

The iptables firewall is running on this system because when type:-
# service iptables status 

I can see iptables firewalls rules being displayed. 
Yes firewall is running on this system.

Having a firewall running will it create a problems if I installed
these kernel updates?

Do you know much iptables and how to configure rules to accept and
reject protocols,etc?
