The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: * A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel"s memory subsystem handled the copy-on-write breakage of private read-only memory mappings. An unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to gain write access to otherwise read-only memory mappings and thus increase their privileges on the system. Red Hat would like to thank Phil Oester for reporting this issue.
