Title:RHSA-2011:0329: kernel security update (Important)
Description:The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

This update fixes the following security issue:

  • A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RPC server sockets implementation. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger a denial of service by sending a corrupted packet to a target system. (CVE-2011-0714, Important)

    Red Hat would like to thank Adam Prince for reporting this issue.

    Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
