Critical Update for Kernel 2.6.11 in Fedora Core 3 Addresses DoS Risk

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.

This update rebases the kernel to the latest upstream stable release,

which fixes a number of security issues. Notably:

- CAN-2005-0210 : dst leak

- CAN-2005-0384 : ppp dos

- CAN-2005-0531 : Sign handling issues.

- CAN-2005-0400 : EXT2 information leak.

- CAN-2005-0449 : Remote oops.

- CAN-2005-0736 : Epoll overflow

- CAN-2005-0749 : ELF loader may kfree wrong memory.

- CAN-2005-0750 : Missing range checking in bluetooth

- CAN-2005-0767 : drm race in radeon

- CAN-2005-0815 : Corrupt isofs images could cause oops

Additionally, a large number of improvements have come from the

2.6.10 -> 2.6.11 transition.

This update requires you are running the latest udev package, and

also (if you are using SELinux) the latest selinux policy packages.
