[Linux_hpc_swstack] Kernel security fixes from 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5
Hi all, Red Hat have recently released 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 to fix several locally-exploitable security issues described at: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0519.html Unfortunately, we can''t move directly to this kernel since it''s RHEL 5 U6, which is not supported by OFED 1.2.5.5. So I''m going to backport the fixes to our kernel, which is based on 2.6.18_53.1.21.el5. The other option is to move to OFED 1.3.1, which seems a bit much for a security fix. However I''m posting this to the list to see if anyone else feels differently. Cheers, Jody
