Fedora Core 6 : kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 (2007-058)

high Nessus Plugin ID 24229

Synopsis

The remote Fedora Core host is missing a security update.

Description

This is a large rebase to the latest upstream stable kernel (2.6.19.2) Complete changelogs available at www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.19 www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.19.1 www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.19.2

This update also introduces 'kernel-debug', a variant with additional debugging options enabled. These kernels may run with lower performance and increased memory overhead than the non-debug variants.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
