The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures +project identifies the following problems: + +CVE-2007-6712 + + Johannes Bauer discovered an integer overflow condition in the hrtimer + subsystem on 64-bit systems. This can be exploited by local users to + trigger a denial of service (DoS) by causing the kernel to execute an + infinite loop. + +CVE-2008-1615 + + Jan Kratochvil reported a local denial of service condition that + permits local users on systems running the amd64 flavor kernel + to cause a system crash. + +CVE-2008-2136 + + Paul Harks discovered a memory leak in the Simple Internet Transition + (SIT) code used for IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels. This can be exploited + by remote users to cause a denial of service condition. + +CVE-2008-2137 + + David Miller and Jan Lieskovsky discovered issues with the virtual + address range checking of mmaped regions on the sparc architecture + that may be exploited by local users to cause a denial of service. + +For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version +2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch5. + +We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6, fai-kernels, and +user-mode-linux packages. + +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 +compatability with or to take advantage of this update: + + Debian 4.0 (etch) + fai-kernels 1.17+etch.18etch5 + user-mode-linux 2.6.18-1um-2etch.18etch5 + +You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the +footer to the proper configuration. + +Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch +------------------------------- + +Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, and sparc. + + + These changes will probably be included in the stable distribution on + its next update. + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +For apt-get: deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main +For dpkg-ftp: ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security dists/stable/updates/main +Mailing list: debian-security-announce@lists.debian.org +Package info: `apt-cache show ' and http://packages.debian.org/ -- cgit v1.2.3
