tag_insight = "The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
These updated packages fix the following security issue:
* a possible kernel memory leak was found in the Linux kernel Simple
Internet Transition (SIT) INET6 implementation. This could allow a local
unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2008-2136, Important)
As well, these updated packages fix the following bugs:
* a possible kernel hang on hugemem systems, due to a bug in NFS, which may
have caused systems to become unresponsive, has been resolved.
* an inappropriate exit condition occurred in the architecture-specific
"mmap()" realization, which fell into an infinite loop under certain
conditions. On 64-bit systems, this issue may have manifested itself to
users as a soft lockup, or process hangs.
* due to a bug in hardware initialization in the "ohci_hcd" kernel module,
the kernel may have failed with a NULL pointer dereference. On 64-bit
PowerPC systems, this may have caused booting to fail, and drop to xmon. On
other platforms, a kernel oops occurred.
* due to insufficient locks in task termination code, a panic may have
occurred in the "sys_times()" system call on SMP machines.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.";
