I'm guessing everyone knows about the ptrace vulnerability. http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t278-s2132228,00.html I haven't the slightest idea what to do with this. I went to the RH page and there are numerous patches and things available for download but no instructions for their implementation. https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-098.html?tag=nl Am I to download everything for i386, i586, i686 and install it? Does installing kernel patches entail anything more complex than using rpm? My cpu is a Pentium 3 1ghz. I have never fiddled with the kernel and am a relative newbie, having been a linux user for only a year now, and an English teacher, not a trained computer expert.
