"Updated kernel packages that fix one security issue are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System
(CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is
available from the CVE link in the References section.
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
This update fixes the following security issue :
* When an application has a stack overflow, the stack could silently
overwrite another memory mapped area instead of a segmentation fault
occurring, which could cause an application to execute arbitrary code,
possibly leading to privilege escalation. It is known that the X
Window System server can be used to trigger this flaw. (CVE-2010-2240,
Important)
