+
+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-2004-0887
+
+    foo
+
+CVE-2004-1058
+
+    foo
+
+CVE-2004-2607
+
+    foo
+
+CVE-2005-0449
+    
+    An error in the skb_checksum_help() function from the netfilter framework
+    has been discovered that allows the bypass of packet filter rules or
+    a denial of service attack.
+
+CVE-2005-1761
+
+    foo
+
+CVE-2005-2457
+
+    Tim Yamin discovered that insufficient input validation in the zisofs driver
+    for compressed ISO file systems allows a denial of service attack through
+    crafted ISO images.
+
+CVE-2005-2555
+
+    Herbert Xu discovered that the setsockopt() function was not restricted to
+    users/processes with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. This allows attackers to
+    manipulate IPSEC policies or initiate a denial of service attack. 
+
+CVE-2005-2709
+
+    Al Viro discovered a race condition in the /proc handling of network devices.
+    A (local) attacker could exploit the stale reference after interface shutdown
+    to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code in kernel mode.
+
+CVE-2005-2973
+ 
+    Tetsuo Handa discovered that the udp_v6_get_port() function from the IPv6 code
+    can be forced into an endless loop, which allows a denial of service attack.
+
+CVE-2005-3257
+
+    Rudolf Polzer discovered that the kernel improperly restricts access to the
+    KDSKBSENT ioctl, which can possibly lead to privilege escalation.
+
+CVE-2005-3783
+
+    The ptrace code using CLONE_THREAD didn't use the thread group ID to
+    determine whether the caller is attaching to itself, which allows a denial
+    of service attack.
+
+CVE-2005-3806
+
+    Yen Zheng discovered that the IPv6 flow label code modified an incorrect variable,
+    which could lead to memory corruption and denial of service.
+
+CVE-2005-3848
+
+    Ollie Wild discovered a memory leak in the icmp_push_reply() function, which
+    allows denial of service through memory consumption.
+
+CVE-2005-3857
+
+    Chris Wright discovered that excessive allocation of broken file lock leases
+    in the VFS layer can exhause memory and fill up the system logging, which allows
+    denial of service.
+
+CVE-2005-3858
+
+    Patrick McHardy discovered a memory leak in the ip6_input_finish() function from
+    the IPv6 code, which allows denial of service.
+
+CVE-2005-4618
+
+    Yi Ying discovered that sysctl does inproperly enforce the size of a buffer, which
+    allows a denial of service attack.
+
+The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture
+fix the problems mentioned above:
+
+                                     Debian 3.1 (sarge)
+     Source                          2.4.27-10sarge2
+     Alpha architecture              2.4.27-10sarge2
+     ARM architecture                2.4.27-2sarge2
+     Intel IA-32 architecture        2.4.27-10sarge2
+     Intel IA-64 architecture        2.4.27-10sarge2
+     Motorola 680x0 architecture     2.4.27-3sarge2
+     Big endian MIPS architecture    2.4.27-10.sarge1.040815-2
+     Little endian MIPS architecture 2.4.27-10.sarge1.040815-2
+     PowerPC architecture            2.4.27-10sarge2
+     IBM S/390 architecture          2.4.27-2sarge2
+     Sun Sparc architecture          2.4.27-9sarge2
+
+
+We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot
+the machine.
