{CVE-2008-2136}kernel-2.6.9-67.0.20.0.2.EL*1で Oracle's ELでのみ変更が入ってた
- revert patch 12026 for rh bugz 435280 which results in orabug 7240271
は、kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22で含めたということのようです。
Oracle's ELのみの変更は kernel-2.6.9-67.0.20.0.1.EL*2に比べて増えてない、kernel-2.6.9-67.0.20.0.2.ELに比べて一つ減ったということになる。
RHEL4で kernel-2.6.9-78.EL(RHEL4.7の Kernel)にはできないとかで、特に kernel-2.6.9-67.0.20.ELを利用中とか検討してたという人には、お勧めということになるかな。
Oracle's ELは、まぁkernel-2.6.9-78.ELベースのカーネルはないし、kernel-2.6.9-67.0.20.0.2.ELにしよっかなって思ってた人には、今はこっちでしょうね。
