(RHSA-2005:275) ia32el security update

The ia32el package contains IA-32 Execution Layer platform which allows
emulation of IA-32 binaries on IA-64.

A flaw was found in the binfmt_elf loader of the Linux kernel which also
affects the IA-32 Execution Layer. A local user could create an
interpreter name string that is not NULL terminated, leading to a denial of
service (crash). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1072 to this issue.

This update also addresses the following issues:

– Fixed execve to invoke ia32 interpreter
– Credential fixes
– Fixed a bug causing ibm-jvm to fail
– Other minor bug fixes

Please refer to the package release notes for detailed information about
these changes.

All users of ia32el should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
