+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-2004-0887
+
+ Martin Schwidefsky discovered that the privileged instruction SACF (Set
+ Address Space Control Fast) on the S/390 platform is not handled properly,
+ allowing for a local user to gain root privileges.
+
+CVE-2004-1058
+
+ A race condition allows for a local user to read the environment variables
+ of another process that is still spawning through /proc/.../cmdline.
+
+CVE-2004-2607
+
+ A numeric casting discrepancy in sdla_xfer allows local users to read
+ portions of kernel memory via a large len argument which is received as an
+ int but cast to a short, preventing read loop from filling a buffer.
+
+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
+
+ A vulnerability in the ptrace subsystem of the IA-64 architecture can
+ allow local attackers to overwrite kernel memory and crash the kernel.
+
+CVE-2005-2457
+
+ Tim Yamin discovered that insufficient input validation in the compressed
+ ISO file system (zisofs) allows a denial of service attack through
+ maliciously 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 exhaust 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 not properly 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
+
+The following matrix lists additional packages that were rebuilt for
+compatability with or to take advantage of this update:
+
+ Debian 3.1 (sarge)
+ kernel-latest-2.4-alpha 101sarge1
+ kernel-latest-2.4-i386 101sarge1
+ kernel-latest-2.4-s390 2.4.27-1sarge1
+ kernel-latest-2.4-sparc 42sarge1
+ kernel-latest-powerpc 102sarge1
+ fai-kernels 1.9.1sarge1
+ i2c 1:2.9.1-1sarge1
+ kernel-image-speakup-i386 2.4.27-1.1sasrge1
+ lm-sensors 1:2.9.1-1sarge3
+ mindi-kernel 2.4.27-2sarge1
+ pcmcia-modules-2.4.27-i386 3.2.5+2sarge1
+ systemimager 3.2.3-6sarge1
+
+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.
