"This updated gfs-kmod is already in SL 5.5.

A flaw was found in the gfs_lock() implementation. The GFS locking
code could skip the lock operation for files that have the S_ISGID bit
(set-group-ID on execution) in their mode set. A local, unprivileged
user on a system that has a GFS file system mounted could use this
flaw to cause a kernel panic. (CVE-2010-0727)

These updated gfs-kmod packages are in sync with the latest kernel
(2.6.18-194.el5). The modules in earlier gfs-kmod packages failed to
load because they did not match the running kernel. It was possible to
force-load the modules. With this update, however, users no longer
need to.

These updated gfs-kmod packages also fix the following bugs :

  - when SELinux was in permissive mode, a race condition
    during file creation could have caused one or more
    cluster nodes to be fenced and lock the remaining nodes
    out of the GFS file system. This race condition no
    longer occurs with this update. (BZ#471258)

  - when ACLs (Access Control Lists) are enabled on a GFS
    file system, if a transaction that has started to do a
    write request does not have enough spare blocks for the
    operation it causes a kernel panic. This update ensures
    that there are enough blocks for the write request
    before starting the operation. (BZ#513885)

  - requesting a 'flock' on a file in GFS in either
    read-only or read-write mode would sometimes cause a
    'Resource temporarily unavailable' state error (error 11
    for EWOULDBLOCK) to occur. In these cases, a flock could
    not be obtained on the file in question. This has been
    fixed with this update so that flocks can successfully
    be obtained on GFS files without this error occurring.
    (BZ#515717)

  - the GFS withdraw function is a data integrity feature of
    GFS file systems in a cluster. If the GFS kernel module
    detects an inconsistency in a GFS file system following
    an I/O operation, the file system becomes unavailable to
    the cluster. The GFS withdraw function is less severe
    than a kernel panic, which would cause another node to
    fence the node. With this update, you can override the
    GFS withdraw function by mounting the file system with
    the '-o errors=panic' option specified. When this option
    is specified, any errors that would normally cause the
    system to withdraw cause the system to panic instead.
    This stops the node's cluster communications, which
    causes the node to be fenced. (BZ#517145)

Finally, these updated gfs-kmod packages provide the following
enhancement :

  - the GFS kernel modules have been updated to use the new
    generic freeze and unfreeze ioctl interface that is also
    supported by the following file systems: ext3, ext4,
    GFS2, JFS and ReiserFS. With this update, GFS supports
    freeze/unfreeze through the VFS-level FIFREEZE/FITHAW
    ioctl interface. (BZ#487610)"
