---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Security Update Notification
FEDORA-2003-047
2004-01-07
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : kernel
Version     : 2.4.22                      
Release     : 1.2140.nptl                  
Summary     : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)
Description :
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
Red Hat Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic functions
of the operating system:  memory allocation, process allocation, device
input and output, etc.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Various RTC drivers had the potential to leak small amounts of kernel
memory to userspace through IOCTL's. 

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0984 to this issue.
