+Package : kernel-source-2.6.8
+Vulnerability : several
+Problem-Type : local/remote XXX
+Debian-specific: no
+CVE ID :
+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-2005-0449
+
+ 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-2005-2457
+
+ 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-2005-2490
+
+ A buffer overflow in the sendmsg() function allows local users to execute
+ arbitrary code.
+
+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-2005-2800
+
+ Jan Blunck discovered that repeated failed reads of /proc/scsi/sg/devices
+ leak memory, which allows a denial of service attack.
+
+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-2005-3044
+
+ Vasiliy Averin discovered that the reference counters from sockfd_put() and
+ fput() can be forced into overlapping, which allows a denial of service attack
+ through a null pointer dereference.
+
+CVE-2005-3053
+
+ Eric Dumazet discovered that the set_mempolicy() system call accepts a negative
+ value for it's first argument, which triggers a BUG() assert. This allows a
+ denial of service attack.
+
+CVE-2005-3180
+
+ Pavel Roskin discovered that the driver for Orinoco wireless cards clears
+ it's buffers insufficiently. This could leak sensitive information into
+ user space.
+
+CVE-2005-3181
+
+ Robert Derr discovered that the audit subsystem uses an incorrect function to
+ free memory, 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-2005-3358
+
+ Doug Chapman discovered that passing a 0 zero bitmask to the set_mempolicy()
+ system call leads to a kernel panic, which allows a denial of service attack.
+
+CVE-2005-3784
+
+ The auto-reaping functionality included ptraced processes, which allows denial
+ of service through dangling references.
+
+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-2005-3847
+
+ It was discovered that a threaded real-time process, which is currently dumping
+ core can be forced into a dead-lock situation by sending it a SIGKILL signal,
+ which allows a denial of service attack.
+
+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-2005-4605
+
+ foo
+
+CVE-2006-0095
+
+ foo
+
+CVE-2006-0096

+The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture
+fix the problems mentioned above:
+
+ Debian 3.1 (sarge)
+ Source 2.6.8-16sarge2
+ Alpha architecture 2.6.8-16sarge2
+ AMD64 architecture 2.6.8-16sarge2
+ HP Precision architecture 2.6.8-6sarge2
+ Intel IA-32 architecture 2.6.8-16sarge2
+ Intel IA-64 architecture 2.6.8-14sarge2
+ Motorola 680x0 architecture 2.6.8-4sarge2
+ PowerPC architecture 2.6.8-12sarge2
+ IBM S/390 architecture 2.6.8-5sarge2
+ Sun Sparc architecture 2.6.8-15sarge2
+
+We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot
+the machine.
