kernel security update

Description

**CentOS Errata and Security Advisory** CESA-2009:1233 The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. These updated packages fix the following security issues: * a flaw was found in the SOCKOPS_WRAP macro in the Linux kernel. This macro did not initialize the sendpage operation in the proto_ops structure correctly. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-2692, Important) * a flaw was found in the udp_sendmsg() implementation in the Linux kernel when using the MSG_MORE flag on UDP sockets. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a local denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2009-2698, Important) Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes of the Google Security Team for responsibly reporting these flaws. All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. **Merged security bulletin from advisories:** https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2009-August/078279.html https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2009-August/078280.html **Affected packages:** kernel kernel-BOOT kernel-doc kernel-hugemem kernel-hugemem-unsupported kernel-smp kernel-smp-unsupported kernel-source kernel-unsupported **Upstream details at:** https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009:1233
