                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           kernel
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:001
 Date:                   January 7th, 2004

 Affected versions:	 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
			 Multi Network Firewall 8.2
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A flaw in bounds checking in mremap() in the Linux kernel versions
 2.4.23 and previous was discovered by Paul Starzetz.  This flaw may
 be used to allow a local attacker to obtain root privilege.
 
 Another minor information leak in the RTC (real time clock) routines
 was fixed as well.
 
 All Mandrake Linux users are encouraged to upgrade to these packages
 immediately.  To update your kernel, please follow the directions
 located at:
 
   http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/kernelupdate.php
 
 Mandrake Linux 9.1 and 9.2 users should upgrade the initscripts (9.1)
 and bootloader-utils (9.2) packages prior to upgrading the kernel as
 they contain a fixed installkernel script that fixes instances where
 the loop module was not being loaded and would cause mkinitrd to fail.
 
 Users requiring commercial NVIDIA drivers can find drivers for
 Mandrake Linux 9.2 at MandrakeClub.
