operating system.
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
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
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 ..
