"Upgrade the linux-2.6 and user-mode-linux packages.
For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem will be fixed in

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.26-17lenny2.
Note: Debian carefully tracks all known security issues across every
linux kernel package in all releases under active security support.
However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security
issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of
doing an update, updates for lower priority issues will normally not
be released for all kernels at the same time. Rather, they will be
released in a staggered or 'leap-frog' fashion."
