Fedora Core 4: 2005-013 Low-Priority Kernel Security Issues

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 fixes several low-priority security problems

that were discovered during the development of 2.6.15, and

backported.

Notably, CVE-2005-4605.
