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-2008-4307

Bryn M. Reeves reported a denial of service in the NFS filesystem.
Local users can trigger a kernel BUG() due to a race condition in
the do_setlk function.

CVE-2008-5079

Hugo Dias reported a DoS condition in the ATM subsystem that can
be triggered by a local user by calling the svc_listen function
twice on the same socket and reading /proc/net/atm/*vc.

CVE-2008-5395

Helge Deller discovered a denial of service condition that allows
local users on PA-RISC systems to crash a system by attempting to
unwind a stack contiaining userspace addresses.

CVE-2008-5700

Alan Cox discovered a lack of minimum timeouts on SG_IO requests,
which allows local users of systems using ATA to cause a denial of
service by forcing drives into PIO mode.

CVE-2008-5701

Vlad Malov reported an issue on 64-bit MIPS systems where a local
user could cause a system crash by crafing a malicious binary
which makes o32 syscalls with a number less than 4000.

CVE-2008-5702

Zvonimir Rakamaric reported an off-by-one error in the ib700wdt
watchdog driver which allows local users to cause a buffer
underflow by making a specially crafted WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT ioctl
call.

CVE-2009-0028

Chris Evans discovered a situation in which a child process can
send an arbitrary signal to its parent.

CVE-2009-0029

Christian Borntraeger discovered an issue effecting the alpha,
mips, powerpc, s390 and sparc64 architectures that allows local
users to cause a denial of service or potentially gain elevated
privileges.

CVE-2009-0031

Vegard Nossum discovered a memory leak in the keyctl subsystem
that allows local users to cause a denial of service by consuming
all of kernel memory.

CVE-2009-0065

Wei Yongjun discovered a memory overflow in the SCTP
implementation that can be triggered by remote users, permitting
remote code execution.

CVE-2009-0269

Duane Griffin provided a fix for an issue in the eCryptfs
subsystem which allows local users to cause a denial of service
(fault or memory corruption).

CVE-2009-0322

Pavel Roskin provided a fix for an issue in the dell_rbu driver
that allows a local user to cause a denial of service (oops) by
reading 0 byts from a sysfs entry.

CVE-2009-0675

Roel Kluin discovered inverted logic in the skfddi driver that
permits local, unprivileged users to reset the driver statistics.

CVE-2009-0676

Clement LECIGNE discovered a bug in the sock_getsockopt function
that may result in leaking sensitive kernel memory.

CVE-2009-0745

Peter Kerwien discovered an issue in the ext4 filesystem that
allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel oops)
during a resize operation.

CVE-2009-0834

Roland McGrath discovered an issue on amd64 kernels that allows
local users to circumvent system call audit configurations which
filter based on the syscall numbers or argument details.

CVE-2009-0859

Jiri Olsa discovered that a local user can cause a denial of
service (system hang) using a SHM_INFO shmctl call on kernels
compiled with CONFIG_SHMEM disabled. This issue does not affect
prebuilt Debian kernels.

CVE-2009-1046

Mikulas Patocka reported an issue in the console subsystem that
allows a local user to cause memory corruption by selecting a
small number of 3-byte UTF-8 characters.

CVE-2009-1192

Shaohua Li reported an issue in the AGP subsystem they may allow
local users to read sensitive kernel memory due to a leak of
uninitialized memory.

CVE-2009-1242

Benjamin Gilbert reported a local denial of service vulnerability
in the KVM VMX implementation that allows local users to trigger
an oops.

CVE-2009-1265

Thomas Pollet reported an overflow in the af_rose implementation
that allows remote attackers to retrieve uninitialized kernel
memory that may contain sensitive data.

CVE-2009-1337

Oleg Nesterov discovered an issue in the exit_notify function that
allows local users to send an arbitrary signal to a process by
running a program that modifies the exit_signal field and then
uses an exec system call to launch a setuid application.

CVE-2009-1338

Daniel Hokka Zakrisson discovered that a kill(-1) is permitted to
reach processes outside of the current process namespace.

CVE-2009-1439

Pavan Naregundi reported an issue in the CIFS filesystem code that
allows remote users to overwrite memory via a long
nativeFileSystem field in a Tree Connect response during mount.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.8etch1.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6.24 packages.

Note: Debian 'etch' includes linux kernel packages based upon both the
2.6.18 and 2.6.24 linux releases. All known security issues are
carefully tracked against both packages and both packages will receive
security updates until security support for Debian 'etch'
concludes. However, given the high frequency at which low-severity
security issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource
requirements of doing an update, lower severity 2.6.18 and 2.6.24
updates will typically release 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

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch

Oldstable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
