Debian 3.0 Woody DSA 358-4 Critical: Kernel Oops Error Resolution

This advisory provides a correction to the previous kernel updates,
which contained an error introduced in kernel-source-2.4.18 version
2.4.18-10. This error could result in a kernel "oops" under certain
circumstances involving POSIX locks and multithreaded programs.

For the stable distribution (woody) on the i386 architecture, this
problem has been fixed in kernel-source-2.4.18 version 2.4.18-13,
kernel-image-2.4.18-i386bf version 2.4.18-5woody4, and
kernel-image-2.4.18-1-i386 version 2.4.18-11.

For the stable distribution (woody) on the alpha architecture, this
problem has been fixed in kernel-source-2.4.18 version 2.4.18-13 and
kernel-image-2.4.18-1-alpha version 2.4.18-10.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
kernel-source-2.4.20 version 2.4.20-7.

We recommend that you update your kernel packages.

If you are using the kernel installed by the installation system when
the "bf24" option is selected (for a 2.4.x kernel), you should install
the kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2....
