Fedora Core 4: 2006-102 Critical: Network Kernel DoS and Info Leak

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 a remotely exploitable denial of service

attack in the icmp networking code (CVE-2006-0454). An

information leak has also been fixed (CVE-2006-0095), and

some debugging patches that had accidentally been left

applied in the previous update have been removed, restoring

the functionality of the 'quiet' argument.

- 2.6.15.3

Fixes remotely exploitable bug in ICMP (CVE-2006-0454)

* Fri Feb 3 2006 Dave Jones

- Make 'quiet' work again.

- dm-crypt: zero key before freeing it
