[Ultramonkey-users 35] Updated Kernel Packages for all supported Distribitions

[Simon Horman [Horms]]

Updated Kernel Packages for all supported Distribitions

Updated kernel packages for are available for Ultra Monkey 2.0.1 to fix
a bug in sys_fchown() (CAN-2004-0497) . This problem manifests when
fsuid is set, which is done using the privelaged sys_setfsuid() call.
This is typically only used by the Linux user-space NFS daemon, which
the call was added for. This vulnerablility may be exploited by remote
users to change the owner of files on systems that run the user-space
NFS daemon and have a kernel that has not been patched. Users who use
the user-space NFS daemon are advised to upgrade.

Updated packages and installation notes are available from
