+Package        : kernel-source-2.6.8
+Vulnerability  : several
+Problem-Type   : local/remote
+Debian-specific: no
+CVE ID         : CVE-2006-3468
+
+Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux
+kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary
+code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
+following problems:
+
+CVE-2006-3468
+
+    James McKenzie discovered a vulnerability in the NFS subsystem, allowing
+    remote denial of service if an ext3 filesystem is exported.
+    
+The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture
+fix the problems mentioned above:
+
+                                 Debian 3.1 (sarge)
+     Source                      2.6.8-16sarge5
+     Alpha architecture          2.6.8-16sarge5
+     AMD64 architecture          2.6.8-16sarge5
+     HP Precision architecture   2.6.8-6sarge5
+     Intel IA-32 architecture    2.6.8-16sarge5
+     Intel IA-64 architecture    2.6.8-14sarge5
+     Motorola 680x0 architecture 2.6.8-4sarge5
+     PowerPC architecture        2.6.8-12sarge5
+     IBM S/390 architecture      2.6.8-5sarge5
+     Sun Sparc architecture      2.6.8-15sarge5
+
+The following matrix lists additional packages that were rebuilt for
+compatibility with or to take advantage of this update:
+
+                                 Debian 3.1 (sarge)
+     fai-kernels                 1.9.1sarge4
+
+We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot
+the machine. If you have built a custom kernel from the kernel source
+package, you will need to rebuild to take advantage of these fixes.
+
+Upgrade Instructions
+--------------------
+
+wget url
+        will fetch the file for you
+dpkg -i file.deb
+        will install the referenced file.
+
+If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
+sources.list as given below:
+
+apt-get update
+        will update the internal database
+apt-get upgrade
+        will install corrected packages
+
+You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
+footer to the proper configuration.
