Fedora: kernel-2.6.10-1.8_FC2 update
Summary
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any
Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions
of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device
input and output, etc.
This update rebases the kernel to match the upstream 2.6.10 release,
and adds a number of security fixes by means of adding the latest -ac patch.
CAN-2004-1235
Paul Starzetz from isec.pl found a problem in the binary format loaders uselib()
function that could lead to potential priveledge escalation.

NO-CAN-ASSIGNED
Brad Spengler found several problems.
- An integer overflow in the random poolsize sysctl handler.
- SCSI ioctl integer overflow and information leak.
- RLIMIT_MEMLOCK bypass and unprivileged user DoS.
NO-CAN-ASSIGNED
Coverity Inc. found a number of bugs with their automated source checker
in coda, xfs, network bridging, rose network protocol, and the sdla wan driver.
- Periodic slab debug is incompatable with pagealloc debug.
Disable the latter.

* Fri Jan 07 2005 Dave Jones
- Bump up to -ac7
- Another new card reader.
* Thu Jan 06 2005 Dave Jones
- Rebase to 2.6.10-ac5
