The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to kernel 2.6.23.9-rc1: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6... http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6... http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6... http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6... http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6... http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6... http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6... CVE-2007-5501: The tcp_sacktag_write_queue function in net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in Linux kernel 2.6.24-rc2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted ACK responses that trigger a NULL pointer dereference. CVE-2007-5500: The wait_task_stopped function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23.8 checks a TASK_TRACED bit instead of an exit_state value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (machine crash) via unspecified vectors. Additional fixes: Major wireless updates. Fix oops in netfilter NAT module (#259501) libata: fix resume on some systems libata: fix pata_serverworks with some drive combinations Initial FireWire OHCI 1.0 Isochronous Receive support (#344851) Disable USB autosuspend by default.
