Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2006-806
2006-07-12
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 5
Name : kernel
Version : 2.6.17
Release : 1.2157_FC5
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 to latest upstream 2.6.17.4 -stable release, which
fixes a security issue which could result in local
priveledge escalation.
More details at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.17.4
In addition, an optimisation was performed to use
significantly less memory for several heavily used kernel
data structures.
