+
+Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
+may lead to a denial of service, sensitive memory leak or privilege escalation.
+The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
+problems:
+
+CVE-2009-2695
+
+    Eric Paris provided several fixes to increase the protection
+    provided by the mmap_min_addr tunable against NULL pointer
+    dereference vulnerabilities.
+
+    Unless your system needs to run applications that require mapping low
+    addresses (such as wine or dosemu), it is recommended to increase
+    the value of mmap_min_addr to protect against NULL pointer exploits.
+    This can be configured using the procps package:
+      # echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 32768" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf
+      # /etc/init.d/procps restart
+
+CVE-2009-2903
+
+    Mark Smith discovered a memory leak in the appletalk implementation.
+    When the appletalk and ipddp modules are loaded, but no ipddp"N" device is
+    found, remote attackers can cause a denial of service by consuming
+    large amounts of system memory.
+
+CVE-2009-2908
+
+    Loïc Minier discovered an issue in the eCryptfs filesystem. A local
+    user can cause a denial of service (kernel oops) by causing a dentry
+    value to go negative.
+
+CVE-2009-2909
+
+    Arjan van de Ven discovered an issue in the AX.25 protocol
+    implementation. A specially crafted call to setsockopt() can
+    result in a denial of service (kernel oops).
+
+CVE-2009-2910
+
+    Jan Beulich discovered the existence of a sensitive kernel memory
+    leak. Systems running the 'amd64' kernel do not properly sanitize
+    registers for 32-bit processes.
+
+CVE-2009-3001
+
+    Jiri Slaby fixed a sensitive memory leak issue in the ANSI/IEEE 802.2 LLC
+    implementation. This is not exploitable in the Debian lenny kernel as root
+    privileges are required to exploit this issue.
+
+CVE-2009-3002
+
+    Eric Dumazet fixed several sensitive memory leaks in the IrDA,
+    X.25 PLP (Rose), NET/ROM, Acorn Econet/AUN, and Controller Area
+    Network (CAN) implementations. Local users can exploit these issues
+    to gain access to kernel memory.
+
+CVE-2009-3286
+
+    Eric Paris discovered an issue with the NFSv4 server implementation.
+    When an O_EXCL create fails, files may be left with corrupted
+    permissions, possibly granting unintenional privileges to other
+    local users.
+
+CVE-2009-3290
+
+    Jan Kiszka noticed that the kvm_emulate_hypercall function in KVM
+    does not prevent access to MMU hypercalls from ring 0, which allows
+    local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest kernel crash)
+    and read or write guest kernel memory.
+
+CVE-2009-3613
+
+    Alistair Strachan reported an issue in the r8169 driver. Remote users
+    can cause a denial of service (IOMMU space exhaustion and system crash)
+    by transmitting a large amount of jumbo frames.
+
+For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
+version 2.6.26-19lenny1.
+
+For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems, where
+applicable, will be fixed in updates to linux-2.6 and linux-2.6.24.
+
+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.

+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
+
+The following matrix lists additional source packages that were rebuilt for
+compatibility with or to take advantage of this update:
+
+                                             Debian 5.0 (lenny)
+     user-mode-linux                         2.6.26-1um-2+19lenny1
+
+You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
+footer to the proper configuration.

+Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias lenny
+--------------------------------
+
+Stable updates are currently available for alpha, arm, amd64, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, sparc, and s390.
+
+XXXX
+
+  These changes will probably be included in the stable distribution on
+  its next update.
