Whitebox alert WBSA-2004:066-01 (kernel)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerability Advisory ID: WBSA-2004:066-01 Issue date: 2004-02-19 Updated on: 2004-02-19 Product: White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0 (i386) Keywords: liberation kernel update Cross references: Obsoletes: WBSA-2004:017 CVE Names: CAN-2004-0077 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Updated kernel packages that fix a security vulnerability that may allow local users to gain root privileges are now available. These packages also resolve other minor issues. More information is available in Red Hat, Inc's original advisory available on their site at: http://www.redhat.com/archives/enterprise-watch-list/2004-February/msg00013.html To install this new package on your White Box Enterprise Linux system use the Up2Date Network or Yum. Remember that up2date will not replace kernel packages by default. Also remember the reason for this; replacing the kernel can break locally customized configurations, 3rd party binary modules (Nvidia, VMware, etc.) and generally should happen only under human supervision. Note: Be sure to change the default Up2Date or Yum server from the initial location to prevent undue load to the whiteboxlinux.org server, which doesn't have a lot of outbound bandwidth. The config files already have entries for mirror sites commented out. Up2Date's configuration file is at /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources Yum's configuration is in /etc/yum.conf -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFANYzbqME6bvnsqA8RAm6qAKCIWqjpwFKHgeaL9PFHgZ+cY3Il7wCeI/Hd DYB/FFHyO7CRktT/bH2eXpY= =W8zy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Whitebox-announce mailing list Whitebox-announce@beau.org http://beau.org/mailman/listinfo/whitebox-announce (Log in to post comments)
