"The kernels used in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 have been found to have
 multiple security problems. This is a list of problems based on the
 2.2.19 release notes as found on http://www.linux.org.uk/ :

  - binfmt_misc used user pages directly
  - the CPIA driver had an off-by-one error in the buffer
    code which made it possible for users to write into
    kernel memory

  - the CPUID and MSR drivers had a problem in the module
    unloading code which could cause a system crash if they
    were set to automatically load and unload (please note
    that Debian does not automatically unload kernel
    modules)

  - There was a possible hang in the classifier code

  - The getsockopt and setsockopt system calls did not
    handle sign bits correctly which made a local DoS and
    other attacks possible

  - The sysctl system call did not handle sign bits
    correctly which allowed a user to write in kernel memory

  - ptrace/exec races that could give a local user extra
    privileges

  - possible abuse of a boundary case in the sockfilter code

  - SYSV shared memory code could overwrite recently freed
    memory which might cause problems

  - The packet length checks in the masquerading code were a
    bit lax (probably not exploitable)

  - Some x86 assembly bugs caused the wrong number of bytes
    to be copied.

  - A local user could deadlock the kernel due to bugs in
    the UDP port allocation."
