Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: kernel security update

Notes

Topic
Updated kernel packages that fix a security vulnerability which may allow local users to gain root privileges are now available.
Details
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. This kernel updates several drivers and fixes a number of bugs, including a potential security vulnerability. iDefense reported a buffer overflow flaw in the ISO9660 filesystem code. An attacker could create a malicious filesystem in such a way that root privileges may be obtained if the filesystem is mounted. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0109 to this issue. The following drivers were updated: LSI megaraid2 v2.10.1.1 IBM Serveraid v. 6.11.07 MPT Fusion v.2.05.11.03 All users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain a backported security patch that corrects this issue.

Only those\nRPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are\nnot installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you\ncan also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the\ndesired RPMs.\n\nPlease note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.\n\nIf up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL\nCertificate Errors, you need to install a version of the\nup2date client with an updated certificate.  The latest version of\nup2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be\ndownloaded directly from the RHN website:\n\nhttps://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt",
