Warning: This kernel branch is currently frozen.
Essentially that means it is neither maintained nor supported, could contain security vulnerabilities and other bugs, and generally should not be used. Please check the list of supported kernel branches at Download/kernel page. |

Changes
- Major mainstream security fix (CVE-2008-0600).
For the complete list of changes in this release, see git changelog for kernel v2.6.18-028stab053.5.
RPMS
You need only one kernel RPM so please choose the appropriate one depending on your hardware:
- If your x86 (i686, IA32) machine has more than 4 GB of RAM, choose
kernel-enterpriseRPM. - If your x86 (i686, IA32) or x86_64 (AMD64, EM64T) machine has more than one CPU (or a CPU with hyperthreading), choose
kernel-smpRPM. - Otherwise, use the plain kernel RPM (i.e.
kernel).
For more info, see Kernel flavors.
