The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

This update fixes the following security issue:

  • A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s RPC server sockets
    implementation. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger a denial
    of service by sending a corrupted packet to a target system.
    (CVE-2011-0714, Important)

Red Hat would like to thank Adam Prince for reporting this issue.

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported
patch to correct this issue. The system must be rebooted for this update to
take effect.
