+Subject: New Linux kernel 2.4.27 packages fix several issues

+Package : kernel-source-2.4.27
+Vulnerability : several
+Problem-Type : local/remote
+Debian-specific: no
+CVE ID : CVE-2006-4093 CVE-2006-4538 CVE-2006-4997 CVE-2006-5174
+ CVE-2006-5649 CVE-2006-5871
+
+
+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-2005-4093
+
+ Olof Johansson reported a local DoS (Denial of Service) vulnerability
+ on the PPC970 platform. Unpriveleged users can hang the system by
+ executing the "attn" instruction, which was not being disabled at boot.
+
+CVE-2006-4538
+
+ Kirill Korotaev reported a local DoS (Denial of Service) vulnerability
+ on the ia64 and sparc architectures. A user could cause the system to
+ crash by executing a malformed ELF binary due to insufficient verification
+ of the memory layout.
+
+CVE-2006-4997
+
+ ADLab Venustech Info Ltd reported a potential remote DoS (Denial of
+ Service) vulnerability in the IP over ATM subsystem. A remote system
+ could cause the system to crash by sending specially crafted packets
+ that would trigger an attempt to free an already-freed pointer
+ resulting in a system crash.
+
+CVE-2006-5174
+
+ Martin Schwidefsky reported a potential leak of sensitive information
+ on s390 systems. The copy_from_user function did not clear the remaining
+ bytes of the kernel buffer after receiving a fault on the userspace
+ address, resulting in a leak of uninitialized kernel memory. A local user
+ could exploit this by appending to a file from a bad address.
+
+CVE-2006-5649
+
+ Fabio Massimo Di Nitto reported a potential remote DoS (Denial of Service)
+ vulnerability on powerpc systems. The alignment exception only
+ checked the exception table for -EFAULT, not for other errors. This can
+ be exploited by a local user to cause a system crash (panic).
+
+CVE-2006-5871
+
+ Bill Allombert reported that various mount options are ignored by smbfs
+ when UNIX extensions are enabled. This includes the uid, gid and mode
+ options. Client systems would silently use the server-provided settings
+ instead of honoring these options, changing the security model. This
+ update includes a fix from Haroldo Gamal that forces the kernel to honor
+ these mount options. Note that, since the current versions of smbmount
+ always pass values for these options to the kernel, it is not currently
+ possible to activate unix extensions by omitting mount options. However,
+ this behavior is currently consistent with the current behavior of the
+ next Debian release, 'etch'.
+
+The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture
+fix the problems mentioned above:
+
+ Debian 3.1 (sarge)
+ Source 2.4.27-10sarge5
+ Alpha architecture 2.4.27-10sarge5
+ ARM architecture 2.4.27-2sarge5
+ Intel IA-32 architecture 2.4.27-10sarge5
+ Intel IA-64 architecture 2.4.27-10sarge5
+ Motorola 680x0 architecture 2.4.27-3sarge5
+ Big endian MIPS 2.4.27-10.sarge4.040815-2
+ Little endian MIPS 2.4.27-10.sarge4.040815-2
+ PowerPC architecture 2.4.27-10sarge5
+ IBM S/390 architecture 2.4.27-2sarge5
+ Sun Sparc architecture 2.4.27-9sarge5
+
+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 1.9.1sarge5
+ kernel-image-2.4.27-speakup 2.4.27-1.1sarge4
+ mindi-kernel 2.4.27-2sarge4
+ systemimager 3.2.3-6sarge4
+
+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.
