Synopsis

kernel bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated kernel packages that fix several bugs and add two enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 Extended Update Support.

Description

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

These updated kernel packages include numerous bug fixes and two enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Documentation for the most significant of these changes will be available shortly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 Technical Notes:

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.4_Technical_Notes/kernel.html

Users of kernel are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
