Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis: Updated 2.4 kernel fixes various bugs
Advisory ID: RHBA-2003:394-01
Issue date: 2003-12-23
Updated on: 2003-12-23
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords:
Cross references:
Obsoletes: RHBA-2003:263-05
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated kernel packages that fix a number of bugs are now available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - athlon, i386, i586, i686
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - athlon, i386, i586, i686
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - athlon, i386, i586, i686
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - athlon, i386, i586, i686
Red Hat Linux 9 - athlon, i386, i586, i686
3. Problem description:
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
These updated kernel packages contain numerous bug fixes, including the
following:
- - An icmp6 socket contention problem was fixed.
- - Conntrack drops reference after removing confirmed expectation.
- - A d_move() corner case was fixed.
- - The Red Hat Linux 7.x / 8.0 kernels now use the same memory management
code as Red Hat Linux 9. In particular, implementing the per-zone kscand
should improve performance on these older systems.
- - A memory leak and an unsafe dereference in an i2c ioctl handler was fixed.
- - Leaking of data in the ioctl's of several RTC drivers was fixed.
Users should upgrade to these errata packages, which resolve these issues.
IMPORTANT:
If you use Red Hat Linux 7.1, you must have installed quota-3.06-9.71 from
RHSA-2003:187, and if you use Red Hat Linux 7.2 or 7.3, you must have
installed quota-3.06-9.7 from RHSA-2003:187
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To use Red Hat Network to upgrade the kernel, launch the Red Hat Update
Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system. Note that you need to select the
kernel explicitly if you are using the default configuration of up2date.
To install kernel packages manually, use "rpm -ivh <package>" and
modify system settings to boot the kernel you have installed. To
do this, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the default entry to
"default=0" (or, if you have chosen to use LILO as your boot loader,
edit /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo)
Do not use "rpm -Uvh" as that will remove your running kernel binaries
from your system. You may use "rpm -e" to remove old kernels after
determining that the new kernel functions properly on your system.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
