Detail
| Problem Description: Updated kernel packages that fix security issues and bugs in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kernel are now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, noarch, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, noarch, ppc, s390x, x86_64 3. Problem description: The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. These new kernel packages contain fixes for the following security issues: * a flaw in the mount handling routine for 64-bit systems that allowed a local user to cause denial of service (CVE-2006-7203, Important). * a flaw in the PPP over Ethernet implementation that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service (CVE-2007-2525, Important). * a flaw in the Bluetooth subsystem that allowed a local user to trigger an information leak (CVE-2007-1353, Low). * a bug in the random number generator that prevented the manual seeding of the entropy pool (CVE-2007-2453, Low). In addition to the security issues described above, fixes for the following have been included: * a race condition between ext3_link/unlink that could create an orphan inode list corruption. * a bug in the e1000 driver that could lead to a watchdog timeout panic. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 users are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 238048 - watchdog timeout panic in e1000 driver 240456 - CVE-2006-7203 oops in compat_sys_mount() when data pointer is NULL 241862 - CVE-2007-1353 Bluetooth setsockopt() information leaks 241863 - CVE-2007-2525 PPPoE socket PPPIOCGCHAN denial of service 241888 - CVE-2007-2453 Slightly degraded pool mixing for entropy extraction |

| Title: | The random number feature in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.20.13, and 2.6.21.x before 2.6.21.4, (1) does not properly seed pools when there is no entropy, or (2) uses an incorrect cast when extracting entropy, which might cause the random number generator to provide the same values after reboots on systems without an entropy source. | ||
