Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerability

Notes

Topic
Updated kernel packages are now available as part of ongoing support and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 2.1. This is the fifth regular update.
Details
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. This is the fifth regular kernel update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 2.1. It contains one minor security fix, many bug fixes, and updates a number of device drivers. A bug in the SoundBlaster 16 code which did not properly handle certain sample sizes has been fixed. This flaw could be used by local users to crash a system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0178 to this issue. The following drivers have also been updated: * cciss v2.4.52 * e1000 v5252k1 * e100 v2.3.43-k1 * fusion v2.05.16 * ips v7.00.15 * aacraid v1.1.5 * megaraid2 v2.10.6 All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum.

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",
