tag_insight = "The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
  operating system.

  This update fixes the following security issues:
  
  * multiple flaws were found in the mmap and mremap implementations. A local
  user could use these flaws to cause a local denial of service or escalate
  their privileges. (CVE-2010-0291, Important)
  
  * a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Fast Userspace Mutexes
  (futexes) implementation. The unlock code path did not check if the futex
  value associated with pi_state->owner had been modified. A local user could
  use this flaw to modify the futex value, possibly leading to a denial of
  service or privilege escalation when the pi_state->owner pointer is
  dereferenced. (CVE-2010-0622, Important)
  
  * a NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel Network
  File System (NFS) implementation. A local user on a system that has an
  NFS-mounted file system could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or
  escalate their privileges on that system. (CVE-2010-1087, Important)
  
  * a flaw was found in the sctp_process_unk_param() function in the Linux
  kernel Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation. A remote
  attacker could send a specially-crafted SCTP packet to an SCTP listening
  port on a target system, causing a kernel panic (denial of service).
  (CVE-2010-1173, Important)
  
  * a flaw was found in the Linux kernel Transparent Inter-Process
  Communication protocol (TIPC) implementation. If a client application, on a
  local system where the tipc module is not yet in network mode, attempted to
  send a message to a remote TIPC node, it would dereference a NULL pointer
  on the local system, causing a kernel panic (denial of service).
  (CVE-2010-1187, Important)
  
  * a buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel Global File System 2
  (GFS2) implementation. In certain cases, a quota could be written past the
  end of a memory page, causing memory corruption, leaving the quota stored
  on disk in an invalid state. A user with write access to a GFS2 file system
  could trigger this flaw to cause a kernel crash (denial of service) or
  escalate their privileges on the GFS2 server. This issue can only be
  triggered if the GFS2 file system is mounted with the "quota=on" or
  "quota=account" mount option. (CVE-2010-1436, Important)
  
  * a race condition between finding a keyring by name and destroying a freed
  keyring was found in the Linux kernel key management facility. A local user
  could use this flaw to cause a kernel panic ( ...
