Fedora Security Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-080
2004-02-18
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : kernel
Version     : 2.4.22                      
Release     : 1.2174.nptl                  
Summary     : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)
Description :
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
Fedora Core Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic functions
of the operating system:  memory allocation, process allocation, device
input and output, etc.

The previous security errata (2.4.22-1.2173) unfortunatly contained a bug
which made some systems unbootable, due to breakage in the aacraid scsi
driver. This update contains no further changes vs 2173.
