The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Rebased to kernel 2.6.20.3-rc1: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.1 (The CVE fix in 2.6.20.1 is already in kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6.) http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20.2 Changelog for 2.6.20.3 is not available yet. This release does not include Xen kernels. CVE-2007-0005: A vulnerability has been reported in the Linux Kernel, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or gain escalated privileges. The vulnerability is caused due to boundary errors within the "read()" and "write()" functions of the Omnikey CardMan 4040 driver. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and may allow the execution of arbitrary code with kernel privileges. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Sat Mar 10 2007 Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@xxxxxxxxxx> -
