+Debian Bug     : 
+
+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-2005-4798
+
+    Assar discovered a buffer overlow in the NFS readlink handling code
+    that would allows a malicious remote server to cause a denail of
+    service (crash) using a long symlink.
+
+CVE-2006-2935
+
+    Diego Calleja Garcia discovered a potential buffer overflow in the
+    dvd_read_bca() function that could allow aribrary code execution via
+    a malicious CDROM device
+
+CVE-2006-1528
+
+    Douglas Gilbert reported a bug in the sg driver that allows local
+    users to oops the kernel by performing dio transfers from the sg
+    driver to memory mapped IO space.
+
+CVE-2006-2444
+
+    Patrick McHardy reported a memory corruption bug in snmp_trap_decode that
+    could be used by remote attackers to crash a system.
+
+CVE-2006-2446
+
+    A race between the kfree_skb and __skb_unlink functions allows remote
+    users to crash a system.
+
+CVE-2006-3745
+
+    Wei Wang discovered a vulnerability in the SCTP subsystem that can be
+    exploited for local privilege escalation.
+
+CVE-2006-4145
+
+    Colin discovered a bug in the UDF filesystem that allows local users to
+    hang a system when truncating files.
+
+CVE-2006-4535
+
+    David Miller reported a problem with the fix for CVE-2006-3745 that allows
+    local users to crash the system using via an SCTP socket with a certain
+    SO_LINGER value.
+
+The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture
+fix the problems mentioned above:
+
+                                 Debian 3.1 (sarge)
+     Source                      2.4.27-10sarge3
+     Alpha architecture          2.4.27-10sarge3
+     ARM architecture            2.4.27-2sarge3
+     Intel IA-32 architecture    2.4.27-10sarge3
+     Intel IA-64 architecture    2.4.27-10sarge3
+     Motorola 680x0 architecture 2.4.27-3sarge3
+     Big endian MIPS             2.4.27-10.sarge3.040815-1
+     Little endian MIPS          2.4.27-10.sarge3.040815-1
+     PowerPC architecture        2.4.27-10sarge3
+     IBM S/390 architecture      2.4.27-2sarge3
+     Sun Sparc architecture      2.4.27-9sarge3
+
+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                 1.9.1sarge2
+     kernel-image-2.4.27-speakup 2.4.27-1.1sarge2
+     mindi-kernel                2.4.27-2sarge2
+     systemimager                3.2.3-6sarge2
+
+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.

+
+Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 alias sarge
+--------------------------------
+
+
+  These files will probably be moved into the stable distribution on
+  its next update.
