Subject:      Security ERRATA for kernel on SL3,x i386/x86_64
Comments: To: scientific-linux-errata@fnal.gov

Synopsis:	Moderate: kernel security and bugfix update
Issue date:	2007-08-16
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-1217 CVE-2007-1353

* a flaw in the ISDN CAPI subsystem that allowed a remote user to cause a
denial of service or potential privilege escalation. (CVE-2007-1217, Moderate)

* a flaw in the Bluetooth subsystem that allowed a local user to trigger an
information leak. (CVE-2007-1353, Low)

In addition to the security issues described above, fixes for the following
have been included:

* a race condition in the e1000 network driver that could cause ESB2
systems to be started without the RX unit being turned on.

* a related e1000 bug on ESB2 systems that could cause rlogin to fail.
