Title:	RedHat Update for kernel RHSA-2012:1174-01
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. This update fixes the following security issue: * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's dl2k driver, used by certain D-Link Gigabit Ethernet adapters, restricted IOCTLs. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to issue potentially harmful IOCTLs, which could cause Ethernet adapters using the dl2k driver to malfunction (for example, losing network connectivity). (CVE-2012-2313, Low) Red Hat would like to thank Stephan Mueller for reporting this issue. This update also fixes several bugs. Documentation for these changes will be available shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to in the References section. Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. Affected Software/OS: kernel on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 1.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
