  Also in those notes,are some things that could be attributed to the
crash:

- a potential leak of kernel data from ext2 file system handling 
(CVE-2005-0400, low) 
- a flaw in IPv4 network TCP and UDP netfilter handling that allowed a 
local user to cause a denial of service (crash) (CVE-2005-3275,
important) 

Those two could potentially be triggered leading to the details in the
OOPs report, (which mentioned ext3) which uses a large portion of ext2
code) and e1000 (intel gigabit nic's)  

It's also possible that the fault was triggered by another unknown
cause.

Due to the amount of vulnerabilities and problems listed covered by
this errata, I'd strongly recommend installing the update (And taking
care of all other updates at the same time (As redhat states this as
well) if at all possible)
