+Package        : linux-2.6
+Vulnerability  : privilege escalation/denial of service/information leak
+Problem type   : local
+Debian-specific: no
+CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2014-0196 CVE-2014-1737 CVE-2014-1738
+
+Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead
+to a denial of service, information leak or privilege escalation. The Common
+Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
+
+CVE-2014-0196
+
+    Jiri Slaby discovered a race condition in the pty layer, which could lead
+    to a denial of service or privilege escalation.
+
+CVE-2014-1737 CVE-2014-1738
+
+    Matthew Daley discovered an information leak and missing input
+    sanitising in the FDRAWCMD ioctl of the floppy driver. This could result
+    in a privilege escalation.
+
+For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
+version 2.6.32-48squeeze6.
+
+The following matrix lists additional source packages that were rebuilt for
+compatibility with or to take advantage of this update:
+
+                                             Debian 6.0 (squeeze)
+     user-mode-linux                         2.6.32-1um-4+48squeeze6
+
+We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6 and user-mode-linux packages.
+
+Note: Debian carefully tracks all known security issues across every
+linux kernel package in all releases under active security support.
+However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security
+issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of
+doing an update, updates for lower priority issues will normally not
+be released for all kernels at the same time. Rather, they will be
+released in a staggered or "leap-frog" fashion.
+
+Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
+these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
