http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.25.5
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.25.6
CVE-2008-1673: The asn1 implementation in (a) the Linux kernel 2.4
before 2.4.36.6 and 2.6 before 2.6.25.5, as used in the cifs and
ip_nat_snmp_basic modules; and (b) the gxsnmp package; does not
properly validate length values during decoding of ASN.1 BER data,
which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or
execute arbitrary code via (1) a length greater than the working
buffer, which can lead to an unspecified overflow; (2) an oid length
of zero, which can lead to an off-by-one error; or (3) an indefinite
length for a primitive encoding. Bugs fixed: 224005 - pata_pcmcia
fails 326411 - Freeze On Boot w/ Audigy PCMCIA 450332 - F8 - System
Lockup after kernel 2.6.25.4-10 450499 - kernel-2.6.25.4-10.fc8 breaks
setkey -m tunnel options in ipsec 450501

  - User Mode Linux (UML) broken on Fedora 9 (and now F8,
    too) Additional bugs fixed: F9#447518 - Call to capget()
    overflows buffers F9#450191 - DMA mode disabled for DVD
    drive, reverts to PIO4 F9#439197 - thinkpad x61t crash
    when undocking F9#447812 - Netlink messages from 'tc' to
    sch_netem module are not interpreted correctly F9#449817
    - SD card reader causes kernel panic during startup if
    card inserted Additional updates/fixes: - Fix oops in
    lirc_i2c module - Add lirc support for additional MCE
    receivers - Upstream wireless updates from 2008-05-22
