(RHSA-2004:105) kernel security update

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating
system.

This kernel updates several drivers and fixes a number of bugs, including a
potential security vulnerability.

iDefense reported a buffer overflow flaw in the ISO9660 filesystem code.
An attacker could create a malicious filesystem in such a way that root
privileges may be obtained if the filesystem is mounted. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2004-0109 to this issue.

The following drivers were updated:

LSI megaraid2 v2.10.1.1
IBM Serveraid v. 6.11.07
MPT Fusion v.2.05.11.03

All users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain
a backported security patch that corrects this issue.
