Fedora Core: 2005-026 Critical: Kernel Memory Corruption Fix

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.

CAN-2005-0001

Paul Starzetz from isec.pl found an exploitable hole in the x86

SMP page fault handler which could lead to privilege escalation.
