The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc. Problem description: From the upstream changelog: Security Fixes -Multiple numbers of potential sign handling, maths overflow and casting errors were fixed. Some of them are theoretically locally exploitable. No remote holes were found. In addition to this we have added support for more hardware. Action: We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded. Location: All TSL updates are available from About Trustix Secure Linux: Trustix Secure Linux is a small Linux distribution for servers. With focus on security and stability, the system is painlessly kept safe and up to date from day one using swup, the automated software updater. Automatic updates: Users of the SWUP tool can enjoy having updates automatically installed using 'swup --upgrade'. Get SWUP from: Public testing: These packages have been available for public testing for a long time.
