"Several local root exploits have been discovered recently in the Linux
kernel. This security advisory updates the PowerPC/Apus kernel for
Debian GNU/Linux. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems that are fixed with this update :

  - CAN-2003-0961 :
    An integer overflow in brk() system call (do_brk()
    function) for Linux allows a local attacker to gain root
    privileges. Fixed upstream in Linux 2.4.23.

  - CAN-2003-0985 :

    Paul Starzetz discovered a flaw in bounds checking in
    mremap() in the Linux kernel (present in version 2.4.x
    and 2.6.x) which may allow a local attacker to gain root
    privileges. Version 2.2 is not affected by this bug.
    Fixed upstream in Linux 2.4.24.

  - CAN-2004-0077 :

    Paul Starzetz and Wojciech Purczynski of isec.pl
    discovered a critical security vulnerability in the
    memory management code of Linux inside the mremap(2)
    system call. Due to missing function return value check
    of internal functions a local attacker can gain root
    privileges. Fixed upstream in Linux 2.4.25 and 2.6.3."
