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-2004-0427

 A local denial of service vulnerability in do_fork() has been found.

 A local denial of service vulnerability through a null pointer
 dereference in the IA64 process handling code has been found.

CVE-2004-0554

 A local denial of service vulnerability through an infinite loop in
 the signal handler code has been found.

CVE-2004-0565

 An information leak in the context switch code has been found on
 the IA64 architecture.

CVE-2004-0685

 Unsafe use of copy_to_user in USB drivers may disclose sensitive
 information.

CVE-2005-0001

 A race condition in the i386 page fault handler may allow privilege
 escalation.

CVE-2004-0883

 Multiple vulnerabilities in the SMB filesystem code may allow denial
 of service of information disclosure.

CVE-2004-0949

 An information leak discovered in the SMB filesystem code.

 service vulnerability.

CVE-2004-0997

 A local privilege escalation in the MIPS assembly code has been found.

CVE-2004-1335

 A memory leak in the ip_options_get() function may lead to denial of

 Inproper initialization of the RTC may disclose information.

CVE-2004-1070

 Insufficient input sanitising in the load_elf_binary() function may
 lead to privilege escalation.

CVE-2004-1071

 Incorrect error handling in the binfmt_elf loader may lead to privilege
 escalation.

CVE-2004-1072

 A denial of service vulnerability in the ELF loader has been found.

CVE-2004-1068

 A programming error in the unix_dgram_recvmsg() function may lead to
 privilege escalation.

CVE-2004-1234

 The ELF loader is vulnerable to denial of service through malformed
 binaries.

CVE-2005-0003

 Crafted ELF binaries may lead to privilege escalation, due to 
 insufficient checking of overlapping memory regions.

CVE-2004-1235

 A race condition in the load_elf_library() and binfmt_aout() functions
 may allow privilege escalation.

CVE-2005-0504

 An integer overflow in the Moxa driver may lead to privilege escalation.

CVE-2005-0384

 A remote denial of service vulnerability has been found in the PPP
 driver.

CVE-2005-0135

 An IA64 specific local denial of service vulnerability has been found
 in the unw_unwind_to_user() function.

The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture
fix the problems mentioned above:

                                 Debian 3.1 (sarge)
 Source                          2.4.17-1woody4
 HP Precision architecture       32.5
 Intel IA-64 architecture        011226.18
 IBM S/390 architecture/image    2.4.17-2.woody.5
 IBM S/390 architecture/patch    0.0.20020816-0.woody.4
 PowerPC architecture (apus)     2.4.17-6
 MIPS architecture               2.4.17-0.020226.2.woody7

We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot
the machine.
