Scientific Linux Security Update : kernel on SL5.x, SL4.x, SL3.x i386/x86_64

A flaw was found in the IA32 system call emulation provided on AMD64 and Intel 64 platforms. An improperly validated 64-bit value could be stored in the %RAX register, which could trigger an out-of-bounds system call table access. An untrusted local user could exploit this flaw to run code in the...
