    Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2002-0068
    
    Package name:      kernel
    Summary:           New upstream version
    Date:              2002-10-17
    Affected versions: TSL 1.1, 1.2, 1.5
    
    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Package description:
      The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
      Trustix Secure Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic
      functions of the operating system:  memory allocation, process allocation,
      device input and output, etc.
    
    Problem description:
      From the upstream changelog:
    
      Security Fixes
      	-Multiple numbers of potential sign handling, maths overflow and
     	casting errors were fixed. Some of them are theoretically locally
      	exploitable. No remote holes were found.
    
      In addition to this we have added support for more hardware.
    
    Action:
      We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
