Red Hat Linux: RHSA-2003:098-00 Critical: Ptrace Privilege Escalation

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied, especially the additional packages from RHSA-2002:205 and RHSA-2002:206.

The procedure for upgrading the kernel manually is documented at:

Support

Please read the directions for your architecture carefully before proceeding with the kernel upgrade.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this to be an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. Note that you need to select the kernel explicitly on default configurations of up2date.
