-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ## ## Patch description of patch c53f8cd84f3c8c488bfb9e9ca445d6df ## Kind: security Shortdescription.english: Security update for Linux kernel Longdescription.english: Applies to Package: k_athlon,k_deflt,k_psmp,k_smp,k_debug,kernel-source Product(s): Release: 20050331 Obsoletes: c643da5f2818ac7452d602b15588f117 Indications Everyone using the Linux Kernel on x86 architecture should update. Contraindications None. Problem description This kernel security update fixes a problem within the bluetooth kernel stack which can be used by a local attacker to gain root access. This problem has been assigned the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2005-0750. Solution Please install the updates provided at the location noted below. Installation notes First, find out which kernel package to use, for example with rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz Download the kernel image fitting your setup and install it with either: * rpm -Fvh k_deflt-2.4.*.i586.rpm for the default kernel image, or * rpm -Fhv k_athlon-2.4.*.i586.rpm for the AMD Athlon optimized kernel image, or * rpm -Fhv k_smp-2.4.*.i586.rpm for the SMP kernel image, or * rpm -Fhv k_psmp-2.4.*.i586.rpm for the PSMP kernel image Please do only install one of these kernels, not all of them. In case you are using LILO as bootmanager, please make sure that you also execute the command lilo after installing the update for the system to remain bootable. Finally, reboot the system with shutdown -r now to load the new kernel (replace "now" with the appropriate amount of time to allow local users to cleanly log out, for example "+5" for five minutes.) Hsilgne.noitpircsedgnol: Size: 240642 Preinformation.english: This update can be used to install a new kernel. If you decide to use the kernel update, we recommend that you reboot your system upon completion of the YaST Online Update, as additional kernel modules may be needed which can only be loaded after the system is rebooted.
