"This update addresses the following security issues :

  - Tavis Ormandy discovered a deficiency in the Linux
    kernel 32-bit and 64-bit emulation. This could allow a
    local, unprivileged user to prepare and run a specially
    crafted binary which would use this deficiency to leak
    uninitialized and potentially sensitive data.
    (CVE-2008-0598, Important)

  - a possible kernel memory leak was found in the Linux
    kernel Simple Internet Transition (SIT) INET6
    implementation. This could allow a local, unprivileged
    user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2008-2136,
    Important)

  - missing capability checks were found in the SBNI WAN
    driver which could allow a local user to bypass intended
    capability restrictions. (CVE-2008-3525, Important)

  - the do_truncate() and generic_file_splice_write()
    functions did not clear the setuid and setgid bits. This
    could allow a local, unprivileged user to obtain access
    to privileged information. (CVE-2008-4210, Important)

  - a buffer overflow flaw was found in Integrated Services
    Digital Network (ISDN) subsystem. A local, unprivileged
    user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2007-6063, Moderate)

  - multiple NULL pointer dereferences were found in various
    Linux kernel network drivers. These drivers were missing
    checks for terminal validity, which could allow
    privilege escalation. (CVE-2008-2812, Moderate)

  - a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel virtual
    filesystem (VFS) implementation. This could allow a
    local, unprivileged user to attempt file creation within
    deleted directories, possibly causing a denial of
    service. (CVE-2008-3275, Moderate)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - the incorrect kunmap function was used in
    nfs_xdr_readlinkres. kunmap() was used where
    kunmap_atomic() should have been. As a consequence, if
    an NFSv2 or NFSv3 server exported a volume containing a
    symlink which included a path equal to or longer than
    the local system's PATH_MAX, accessing the link caused a
    kernel oops. This has been corrected in this update.

  - mptctl_gettargetinfo did not check if pIoc3 was NULL
    before using it as a pointer. This caused a kernel panic
    in mptctl_gettargetinfo in some circumstances. A check
    has been added which prevents this.

  - lost tick compensation code in the timer interrupt
    routine triggered without apparent cause. When running
    as a fully-virtualized client, this spurious triggering
    caused the 64-bit version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
    to present highly inaccurate times. With this update the
    lost tick compensation code is turned off when the
    operating system is running as a fully-virtualized
    client under Xen or VMware®."
