Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2007-658
2007-08-08
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 6
Name        : kernel
Version     : 2.6.22.1
Release     : 31.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:

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.

Fixes since initial 2.6.22 test kernel was released:
Fix timer problems and failure to boot.
Fix failure to boot on PS3.
Fix failure to initialize Hpt37x ATA controllers.
Hopefully fix atl1 ethernet controller DMA.

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.
