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.

Updated to kernel 2.6.19.5 plus additional fixes:

CVE-2007-0772:

Summary: The Linux kernel before 2.6.20.1 allows remote

attackers to cause a denial of service (oops) via a crafted

NFSACL 2 ACCESS request that triggers a free of an incorrect

pointer.

CVE-2006-5753:

Summary: Unspecified vulnerability in the listxattr system

call in Linux kernel, when a "bad inode" is present, allows

local users to cause a denial of service (data corruption)

and possibly gain privileges via unknown vectors.

Fixed broken SCSI CDROM IOCTLs.

Added Xen, which was missing from 1.2911.6.3

- 2.6.19.5

- re-enable Xen
