Description:
Previous versions of the kernel package have several vulnerabilities
resolved in this release. The most severe is a remotely triggerable
system crash (denial of service) in the appletalk protocol module,
but the tools to configure appletalk are not included in rPath Linux,
and it is not a commonly-used protocol, so the module is not normally
loaded and thus rPath Linux systems are not normally vulnerable.
The other vulnerabilities involve local users; one that applies
only if the driver for the Omnikey CardMan 4040 is loaded, and
two involving IPv6, one of which enables local users to cause a
system crash.
A system reboot is required to resolve this vulnerability.
