+Debian Bug(s)  :
+                 
+Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
+may lead to a denial of service or privilege escalation. The Common
+Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
+
+CVE-2010-2492
+
+    Andre Osterhues reported an issue in the eCryptfs subsystem. A buffer
+    overflow condition may allow local users to cause a denial of service
+    or gain elevated privileges.
+
+CVE-2010-2954
+
+    Tavis Ormandy reported an issue in the irda subsystem which may allow
+    local users to cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference.
+
+CVE-2010-3078
+
+    Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the XFS file system that allows
+    local users to read potentially sensitive kernel memory.
+    
+CVE-2010-3080
+
+    Tavis Ormandy reported an issue in the ALSA sequencer OSS emulation
+    layer. Local users with sufficient privileges to open /dev/sequencer
+    (by default on Debian, this is members of the 'audio' group) can
+    cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference.
+
+CVE-2010-3081
+
+    Ben Hawkes discovered an issue in the 32-bit compatibility code
+    for 64-bit systems. Local users can gain elevated privileges due
+    to insufficient checks in compat_alloc_user_space allocations.
+    
+This update also includes fixes a regression introduced by a previous
+update. See the referenced Debian bug page for details.
+
+For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
+version 2.6.26-25lenny1.
+
+We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6 and user-mode-linux
+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+25lenny1
+
+Upgrade instructions
+--------------------
+
+wget url
+        will fetch the file for you
+dpkg -i file.deb
+        will install the referenced file.

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