This kernel fixes security issues (including “Stack Clash”). The issues
may result in denial-of-service conditions or may allow attackers to
execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages.
If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the correct
kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader.
