Bug Fix Advisory - RHBA-2004:433-17
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Updated kernel packages available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 3
Updated kernel packages are now available as part of ongoing support and
maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 3. This is the third
regular update (Update 3).
Description:
The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.
This is the third regular kernel update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
New features introduced by this update include:
- a disk dump facility (for the x86 and Itanium architectures)
- no-execute (NX) page protection and the enabling of ExecShield,
which is used to minimize potential vulnerability to buffer
overflow exploits (for the x86, EM64T, and AMD64 architectures)
- support for dynamic addition of SCSI host adapters
- support for new IBM POWER5 systems
- support for new I/O devices
There were many bug fixes in various parts of the kernel. The ongoing
effort to resolve these problems has resulted in a marked improvement in
the reliability and scalability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Some key
areas affected by these fixes are disk and network drivers, USB and SATA
support, and the VM, NFS, SCSI, and auditing subsystems. There was also
a major overhaul of SAL/MCA handling for Itanium (now integrated with a
new "salinfo" daemon), as well as a significant upgrade to the autofs4
subsystem, which is now fully supported.
The following device drivers have been upgraded to new versions:
aacraid ---- 1.1.5-2339
aic79xx ---- 1.3.10-RH1
b44 -------- 0.93
cciss ------ 2.4.52.RH1
e100 ------- 2.3.43-k1
e1000 ------ 5.2.52-k3
emulex ----- 7.0.3 (new in Update 3)
fusion ----- 2.05.16
ipr -------- 1.0.4
ips -------- 7.00.15
lvm -------- 2.4.26
megaraid2 -- 2.10.6
qla2x00 ---- 2.10.6-RH1
qlogic ----- 7.00.03-RH1
sx8 -------- 0.8-24.1 (new in Update 3)
tg3 -------- 3.6RH
z90crypt --- 1.2.1
(Note that the kernel-unsupported package contains drivers and other
modules that are unsupported and therefore might contain security
problems that have not been addressed.)
All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their
kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures
and configurations as listed in this erratum.
