All users of the Linux 3.10 kernel series must update

Immediately after having published details about the Linux kernel 4.1.1, Linux kernel 4.0.7, and Linux kernel 3.14.46 LTS maintenance releases, Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the immediate availability of Linux kernel 3.10.82 LTS.

Looking at the changelog, we can notice that the eighty-second point release of the long-term Linux 3.10 kernel, which is supported with security patches and bugfixes for a few more years, is a very small update that fixes no more than five issues discovered since the previous maintenance release.

"I'm announcing the release of the 3.10.82 kernel. All users of the 3.10 kernel series must upgrade," says Greg Kroah-Hartman. "The updated 3.10.y git tree can browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary."

Therefore, Linux kernel 3.10.82 LTS now rejects non-character-cell-aligned mode widths in the mgag200 driver, repairs a memory corruption that occurred during retrying of atomic copy as non-atomic, and adds the iotag memory barrier to the lpfc driver.

It also fixes an issue with RNG buffer cache alignment in the Crypto API, and Kernel Trace Systems' filter can now check for balanced ops. Download Linux kernel 3.10.82 LTS right now via Softpedia or from the kernel.org website.
