Detail
| This advisory provides a correction to the previous kernel updates, which contained an error introduced in kernel-source-2.4.18 version 2.4.18-10. This error could result in a kernel "oops" under certain circumstances involving POSIX locks and multithreaded programs. For the stable distribution (woody) on the i386 architecture, this problem has been fixed in kernel-source-2.4.18 version 2.4.18-13, kernel-image-2.4.18-i386bf version 2.4.18-5woody4, and kernel-image-2.4.18-1-i386 version 2.4.18-11. For the stable distribution (woody) on the alpha architecture, this problem has been fixed in kernel-source-2.4.18 version 2.4.18-13 and kernel-image-2.4.18-1-alpha version 2.4.18-10. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in kernel-source-2.4.20 version 2.4.20-7. We recommend that you update your kernel packages. If you are using the kernel installed by the installation system when the "bf24" option is selected (for a 2.4.x kernel), you should install the kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 package. If you installed a different kernel-image package after installation, you should install the corresponding 2.4.18-1 kernel. You may use the table below as a guide. | If "uname -r" shows: | Install this package: |
