This kernel update fixes the following security problems :
A double userspace copy in a SCTP ioctl allows local attackers to overflow a buffer in the kernel, potentially allowing code execution and privilege escalation. [#199441]. (CVE-2006-3745)
Local attackers were able to crash PowerPC systems with PPC970 processor using a not correctly disabled privileged instruction (‘attn’). [#197810].
(CVE-2006-4093)
Remote attackers able to access an NFS of a ext2 or ext3 filesystem can cause a denial of service (file system panic) via a crafted UDP packet with a V2 lookup procedure that specifies a bad file handle (inode number), which triggers an error and causes an exported directory to be remounted read-only. [#192988].
(CVE-2006-3468)
and the following non security bugs :
XEN patches/fixes :
kunmap_atomic() must zap the PTE to avoid dangling references.
Fix oops on io scheduler unload on a process without ioc (backport)
OCFS2 updated to to version 1.2.3.
update patches.arch/ppc-update_gtod-race.patch: restrict to 64bit only because it leads to deadlocks on ppc32 [#202146]

LKCD: dump all slab pages. [#196330]

[#195040]
Remove Altix PROM bit that can race on MCAs. [#193296]
Prevent silent data corruption caused by XPC. [#193132]
Fix race condition during COW [#192259]
sched: fix group power for allnodes_domains [#191929]
Allow dma_alloc_coherent() to work for regions up to 2MB. [#191615]
fix ABBA deadlock between cpuset callback_sem and hotplug cpucontrol mutex [#191582]
Check for existing sysfs directory prior to creating one [#191360]
Fix possible NFS panic in readdir. [#189951]
