  This update fixes the following security issues:

  * The proc file system could allow a local, unprivileged user to obtain
  sensitive information or possibly cause integrity issues. (CVE-2011-1020,
  Moderate)

  * Non-member VLAN (virtual LAN) packet handling for interfaces in
  promiscuous mode and also using the be2net driver could allow an attacker
  on the local network to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3347,
  Moderate)

  * A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the way splitting two extents in
  ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() worked. A local, unprivileged user with
  access to mount and unmount ext4 file systems could use this flaw to cause
  a denial of service. (CVE-2011-3638, Moderate)

  * A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's
  key management facility handled user-defined key types. A local,
  unprivileged user could use the keyctl utility to cause a denial of
  service. (CVE-2011-4110, Moderate)

  Red Hat would like to thank Kees Cook for reporting CVE-2011-1020, Somnath
  Kotur for reporting CVE-2011-3347, and Zheng Liu for reporting
  CVE-2011-3638.

  This update also fixes several hundred bugs and adds enhancements. Refer to
  the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 Release Notes for information on the most
  significant of these changes, and the Technical Notes for further
  information, both linked to in the References.

  All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 users are advised to install these updated
  packages, which correct these issues, and fix the bugs and add the
  enhancements noted in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 Release Notes and
  Technical Notes. The system must be rebooted for this update to take
  effect.

  4. Solution:

  Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
  relevant to your system have been applied.

  This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
  use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at the linked references.

  To install kernel packages manually, use 'rpm -ivh [package]'. Do not
  use 'rpm -Uvh' as that will remove the running kernel binaries from
  your system. You may use 'rpm -e' to remove old kernels after
  determining that the new kernel  ..
