CentOS - Feb 2009 - Security update missing - kernel-2.6.18-128.el5

Please,

do not delay this "Important" multiple security update. See 
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0225.html for more info.

This update is "5.3" kernel but has been released as security update 
too. RHN pushed this kernel one day ahead of rest of 5.3 packages (on my 
servers).

RH maintains API and ABI (!) compatibility so there is no problem to use 
this kernel AFAIK.

So please, do not delay it anymore, this contains multiple security 
vulnerabilities fixed since 2009-01-20.

Thank you for your effort (a lot).

M.K.

but this kernel -128 version requires a newer version of ecryptfs-utils from
5.3...

So afaik there will be no newer kernel until 5.3 is released.

while the CentOS people work on it, you could obtain the kernel from 
http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5/
