W advisory redhata na BQ było:

The 2.4.18-5 kernel introduced some safety checks in the VM subsystem that
were triggered when exiting an X session while using 3D acceleration with
the Intel i810/i815 chipset. Additionally, there was a difficult to trigger
race in the dcache of the file system subsystem.

This kernel update addresses both of these issues.

In addition, there are fixes for potential security holes in the following
drivers:

stradis
rio500
se401
usbvideo
apm

Finally, this kernel fixes a few files in the /proc file system which had
the capability to expose kernel memory when abused.

All of the security issues found during an audit and none of them,  at the
time of this writing, have any known exploits.
