Subject:      Security ERRATA for kernel on SL5.x i386/x86_64
Comments: To: scientific-linux-errata@fnal.gov

Synopsis:	Moderate: kernel security and bugfix update
Issue date:	2007-09-04
CVE Names:	CVE-2006-0558 CVE-2007-1217

* a flaw in the ISDN CAPI subsystem that allowed a remote user to cause a
denial of service or potential remote access. Exploitation would require
the attacker to be able to send arbitrary frames over the ISDN network to
the victim's machine. (CVE-2007-1217, Moderate)

* a flaw in the perfmon subsystem on ia64 platforms that allowed a local
user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-0558, Moderate)

In addition, the following bugs were addressed:

* a panic after reloading of the LSI Fusion driver.

* a vm performance problem was corrected by balancing inactive page lists.

* added a nodirplus option to address NFSv3 performance issues with large
directories.

* changed the personality handling to disallow personality changes of
setuid and setgid binaries. This ensures they keep any randomization and
Exec-shield protection.
