Fedora Security Update Notification
FEDORA-2003-047
2004-01-07
| Name | : | kernel |
| Version | : | 2.4.22 |
| Release | : | 1.2140.nptl |
| Summary | : | The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system) |
Description :
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of
your Red Hat Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic
functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process
allocation, device input and output, etc.
Various RTC drivers had the potential to leak small amounts of
kernel memory to userspace through IOCTL’s.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name
CAN-2003-0984 to this issue.
