this one is not retired, it's only temporarily excluded from the

next security update as the ABI needs to be changed

-Candidate: CVE-2007-2878
-References:
- http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.21.2
-Description: 
- The VFAT compat ioctls in the Linux kernel before 2.6.21.2, when run
- on a 64-bit system, allow local users to corrupt a kernel_dirent struct
- and cause a denial of service (system crash) via unknown vectors.
-Ubuntu-Description: 
- Luca Tettamanti discovered a flaw in the VFAT compat ioctls on 64-bit
- systems.  A local attacker could corrupt a kernel_dirent struct and cause
- a denial of service.
-Notes: 
- dannf> reproduced in etch using reproducer provided in the changeset
- dannf> backporting the fix only proved hazardous as there was some recent
- dannf> restructuring - i've elected to backport that as well
- dannf> (fat-move-ioctl-compat-code.patch)
- dannf> marking sarge kernels as N/A because amd64 wasn't officially supported
- dannf> and the backport is non-trivial (read: risk outweighs benefit)
- dannf>
- dannf> reverted from etch-security branch in r9295 due to ABI change
