Categoría:	Red Hat Local Security Checks
Título:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2012:1282
Resumen:	NOSUMMARY
Descripción:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2012:1282. The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. This update fixes the following security issue: * It was found that a deadlock could occur in the Out of Memory (OOM) killer. A process could trigger this deadlock by consuming a large amount of memory, and then causing request_module() to be called. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (excessive memory consumption). (CVE-2012-4398, Moderate) Red Hat would like to thank Tetsuo Handa for reporting this issue. The kernel-rt packages have been upgraded to upstream version 3.2, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#798421) This update also fixes various bugs and adds enhancements. 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 kernel-rt packages, which correct this issue, fix these bugs, and add these enhancements. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. 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-2012-1282.html Risk factor : Medium
