Fedora Core 3 Kernel Update: 2.6.10 Critical Exec-Shield Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey February 15, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest kernel patch for Fedora Core 3 focuses on optimizing key operating system capabilities and improving overall performance, alongside resolving exec-shield vulnerabilities.
Updated package.

Summary

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.

- Backport some exec-shield fixes from devel/ branch.

- Scan all SCSI LUNs by default.

Theoretically, some devices may hang when being probed, though

there should be few enough of these that we can blacklist them

instead of having to whitelist every other device on the planet.

- Use both old-style and new-style for USB initialisation.

* Mon Feb 07 2005 Dave Jones [2.6.10-1.762_FC3, 2.6.10-1.13_FC2]

- Update to 2.6.10-ac12
