command line options now appear correctly when root does 'ps ax'), and
fix a potential denial of service problem with netfilter.
Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Tue Jun 17 19:41:55 PDT 2003
New precompiled Linux 2.4.21 kernels and source packages are now available
for Slackware 9.0. These fix a few problems with the ptrace patch used
with the 2.4.20 kernel, and add a few extra drivers (like Silicon Image
Serial-ATA support). The new kernel also fixes a number of security
issues, such as a routing cache problem in 2.4.20 and earlier can allow
an attacker to cause hash collisions in the prerouting chain that consume
CPU resources resulting in a denial-of-service (CAN-2003-0244).
patches/packages/kernel-headers-2.4.21-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux
2.4.21 kernel headers.
patches/packages/kernel-ide-2.4.21-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.21.
patches/packages/kernel-modules-2.4.21-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded kernel modules
to Linux 2.4.21.
patches/packages/kernel-modules-2.4.21_xfs-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded the
XFS-patched kernel modules package to Linux 2.4.21-xfs. These are needed
for the xfs.i kernel.
patches/packages/kernel-source-2.4.21-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to Linux
2.4.21 source.
patches/kernels/*: Upgraded to Linux 2.4.21.
