"This update fixes the following security issues :

  - A flaw was found in sctp_packet_config() in the Linux
    kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
    implementation. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
    cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3432, Important)

  - A missing integer overflow check was found in
    snd_ctl_new() in the Linux kernel's sound subsystem. A
    local, unprivileged user on a 32-bit system could use
    this flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their
    privileges. (CVE-2010-3442, Important)

  - A heap overflow flaw in the Linux kernel's Transparent
    Inter-Process Communication protocol (TIPC)
    implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to
    escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3859, Important)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's
    Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation.
    A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause
    a denial of service or escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2010-3865, Important)

  - A flaw was found in the Xenbus code for the unified
    block-device I/O interface back end. A privileged guest
    user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on
    the host system running the Xen hypervisor.
    (CVE-2010-3699, Moderate)

  - Missing sanity checks were found in setup_arg_pages() in
    the Linux kernel. When making the size of the argument
    and environment area on the stack very large, it could
    trigger a BUG_ON(), resulting in a local denial of
    service. (CVE-2010-3858, Moderate)

  - A flaw was found in inet_csk_diag_dump() in the Linux
    kernel's module for monitoring the sockets of INET
    transport protocols. By sending a netlink message with
    certain bytecode, a local, unprivileged user could cause
    a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3880, Moderate)

  - Missing sanity checks were found in gdth_ioctl_alloc()
    in the gdth driver in the Linux kernel. A local user
    with access to '/dev/gdth' on a 64-bit system could use
    this flaw to cause a denial of service or escalate their
    privileges. (CVE-2010-4157, Moderate)

  - The fix put into kernel-2.6.18-164.el5 introduced a
    regression. A local, unprivileged user could use this
    flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4161,
    Moderate)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the
    Bluetooth HCI UART driver in the Linux kernel. A local,
    unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial
    of service. (CVE-2010-4242, Moderate)

  - It was found that a malicious guest running on the Xen
    hypervisor could place invalid data in the memory that
    the guest shared with the blkback and blktap back-end
    drivers, resulting in a denial of service on the host
    system. (CVE-2010-4247, Moderate)

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's CPU time clocks
    implementation for the POSIX clock interface. A local,
    unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial
    of service. (CVE-2010-4248, Moderate)

  - Missing initialization flaws in the Linux kernel could
    lead to information leaks. (CVE-2010-3876,
    CVE-2010-4083, Low)

This update also fixes several bugs and adds an enhancement.

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect."
