Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2010:0330
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2010:0330. The Red Hat Global File System (GFS) allows a cluster of Linux servers to share data in a common pool of storage. A flaw was found in the gfs_lock() implementation. The GFS locking code could skip the lock operation for files that have the S_ISGID bit (set-group-ID on execution) in their mode set. A local, unprivileged user on a system that has a GFS file system mounted could use this flaw to cause a kernel panic. (CVE-2010-0727) As well, these updated GFS packages are in sync with the latest kernel (2.4.21-63.EL). The modules in earlier GFS packages fail to load because they do not match the running kernel. It is possible to force-load the modules however, with this update, force-loading the modules is not required. (BZ#525198) Users are advised to upgrade to these latest GFS packages, which resolve this issue and are updated for use with the 2.4.21-63.EL kernel. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0330.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#moderate Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.7
