This one is already obsoleted.  But I realized I haven't been keeping the 
- -announce list updated properly and this is the first of a run intended to 
catch it up.

Updated kernel packages that fix two privilege escalation vulnerabilities
are now available.

More information is available in Red Hat, Inc's original advisory 
available on their site at:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/enterprise-watch-list/2004-April/msg00008.html

To install this new package on your White Box Enterprise Linux system
use the Up2Date Network or Yum.

Note: Be sure to change the default Up2Date or Yum server from the
initial location to prevent undue load to the whiteboxlinux.org
server, which doesn't have a lot of outbound bandwidth.  The config
files already have entries for mirror sites commented out.

Up2Date's configuration file is at /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources

Yum's configuration is in /etc/yum.conf
