"This update addresses the following security issues :

  - a memory leak in keyctl handling. A local user could use
    this flaw to deplete kernel memory, eventually leading
    to a denial of service. (CVE-2009-0031, Important)

  - a buffer overflow in the Linux kernel Partial Reliable
    Stream Control Transmission Protocol (PR-SCTP)
    implementation. This could, potentially, lead to a
    denial of service if a Forward-TSN chunk is received
    with a large stream ID. (CVE-2009-0065, Important)

  - a flaw when handling heavy network traffic on an SMP
    system with many cores. An attacker who could send a
    large amount of network traffic could create a denial of
    service. (CVE-2008-5713, Important)

  - the code for the HFS and HFS Plus (HFS+) file systems
    failed to properly handle corrupted data structures.
    This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of
    service. (CVE-2008-4933, CVE-2008-5025, Low)

  - a flaw was found in the HFS Plus (HFS+) file system
    implementation. This could, potentially, lead to a local
    denial of service when write operations are performed.
    (CVE-2008-4934, Low)

  - when fput() was called to close a socket, the
    __scm_destroy() function in the Linux kernel could make
    indirect recursive calls to itself. This could,
    potentially, lead to a denial of service issue.
    (CVE-2008-5029, Important)

  - a flaw was found in the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
    subsystem. A local, unprivileged user could use the flaw
    to listen on the same socket more than once, possibly
    causing a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5079, Important)

  - a race condition was found in the Linux kernel 'inotify'
    watch removal and umount implementation. This could
    allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a privilege
    escalation or a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5182,
    Important)

  - issues affecting NEC/Stratus servers

  - OFED support

  - SELinux

  - various Virtio issues

  - when using the nfsd daemon in a clustered setup, kernel
    panics appeared seemingly at random. These panics were
    caused by a race condition in the device-mapper mirror
    target.

  - the clock_gettime(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, ) syscall
    returned a smaller timespec value than the result of
    previous clock_gettime() function execution, which
    resulted in a negative, and nonsensical, elapsed time
    value.

  - nfs_create_rpc_client was called with a 'flavor'
    parameter which was usually ignored and ended up
    unconditionally creating the RPC client with an
    AUTH_UNIX flavor. This caused problems on AUTH_GSS
    mounts when the credentials needed to be refreshed. The
    credops did not match the authorization type, which
    resulted in the credops dereferencing an incorrect part
    of the AUTH_UNIX rpc_auth struct.

  - when copy_user_c terminated prematurely due to reading
    beyond the end of the user buffer and the kernel jumped
    to the exception table entry, the rsi register was not
    cleared. This resulted in exiting back to user code with
    garbage in the rsi register.

  - the hexdump data in s390dbf traces was incomplete. The
    length of the data traced was incorrect and the SAN
    payload was read from a different place then it was
    written to.

  - when using connected mode (CM) in IPoIB on ehca2
    hardware, it was not possible to transmit any data.

  - when an application called fork() and pthread_create()
    many times and, at some point, a thread forked a child
    and then attempted to call the setpgid() function, then
    this function failed and returned and ESRCH error value."
