  operating system.

  A flaw was found in the handling of process death signals. This allowed a
  local user to send arbitrary signals to the suid-process executed by that
  user. A successful exploitation of this flaw depends on the structure of
  the suid-program and its signal handling. (CVE-2007-3848, Important)
  
  A flaw was found in the IPv4 forwarding base. This allowed a local user to
  cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-2172, Important) 
  
  A flaw was found where a corrupted executable file could cause cross-region
  memory mappings on Itanium systems. This allowed a local user to cause a
  denial of service. (CVE-2006-4538, Moderate) 
  
  A flaw was found in the stack expansion when using the hugetlb kernel on
  PowerPC systems. This allowed a local user to cause a denial of service.
  (CVE-2007-3739, Moderate) 
  
  A flaw was found in the aacraid SCSI driver. This allowed a local user to
  make ioctl calls to the driver that should be restricted to privileged
  users. (CVE-2007-4308, Moderate) 
  
  As well, these updated packages fix the following bug:
  
  * a bug in the TCP header prediction code may have caused "TCP: Treason
  uncloaked!" messages to be logged. In certain situations this may have lead
  to TCP connections hanging or aborting.
  
  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade to these updated
  packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.";
