Several local and remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux
kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary
code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:

  • CVE-2004-0427
    A local denial of service vulnerability in do_fork() has been found.
  • CVE-2005-0489
    A local denial of service vulnerability in proc memory handling has
    been found.
  • CVE-2004-0394
    A buffer overflow in the panic handling code has been found.
  • CVE-2004-0447
    A local denial of service vulnerability through a null pointer
    dereference in the IA64 process handling code has been found.
  • CVE-2004-0554
    A local denial of service vulnerability through an infinite loop in
    the signal handler code has been found.
  • CVE-2004-0565
    An information leak in the context switch code has been found on
    the IA64 architecture.
  • CVE-2004-0685
    Unsafe use of copy_to_user in USB drivers may disclose sensitive
    information.
  • CVE-2005-0001
    A race condition in the i386 page fault handler may allow privilege
    escalation.
  • CVE-2004-0883
    Multiple vulnerabilities in the SMB filesystem code may allow denial
    of service or information disclosure.
  • CVE-2004-0949
    An information leak discovered in the SMB filesystem code.
  • CVE-2004-1016
    A local denial of service vulnerability has been found in the SCM layer.
  • CVE-2004-1333
    An integer overflow in the terminal code may allow a local denial of
    service vulnerability.
  • CVE-2004-0997
    A local privilege escalation in the MIPS assembly code has been found.
  • CVE-2004-1335
    A memory leak in the ip_options_get() function may lead to denial of
    service.
  • CVE-2004-1017
    Multiple overflows exist in the io_edgeport driver which might be usable
    as a denial of service attack vector.
  • CVE-2005-0124
    Bryan Fulton reported a bounds checking bug in the coda_pioctl function
    which may allow local users to execute arbitrary code or trigger a denial
    of service attack.
  • CVE-2003-0984
    Inproper initialization of the RTC may disclose information.
  • CVE-2004-1070
    Insufficient input sanitising in the load_elf_binary() function may
    lead to privilege escalation.
  • CVE-2004-1071
    Incorrect error handling in the binfmt_elf loader may lead to privilege
    escalation.
  • CVE-2004-1072
    A buffer overflow in the binfmt_elf loader may lead to privilege
    escalation or denial of service.
  • CVE-2004-1073
    The open_exec function may disclose information.
  • CVE-2004-1074
    The binfmt code is vulnerable to denial of service through malformed
    a.out binaries.
  • CVE-2004-0138
    A denial of service vulnerability in the ELF loader has been found.
  • CVE-2004-1068
    A programming error in the unix_dgram_recvmsg() function may lead to
    privilege escalation.
  • CVE-2004-1234
    The ELF loader is vulnerable to denial of service through malformed
    binaries.
  • CVE-2005-0003
    Crafted ELF binaries may lead to privilege escalation, due to
    insufficient checking of overlapping memory regions.
  • CVE-2004-1235
    A race condition in the load_elf_library() and binfmt_aout() functions
    may allow privilege escalation.
  • CVE-2005-0504
    An integer overflow in the Moxa driver may lead to privilege escalation.
  • CVE-2005-0384
    A remote denial of service vulnerability has been found in the PPP
    driver.
  • CVE-2005-0135
    An IA64 specific local denial of service vulnerability has been found
    in the unw_unwind_to_user() function.

The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture
fixes the problems mentioned above:

Debian 3.1 (sarge)
Source 2.4.17-1woody4
HP Precision architecture 32.5
Intel IA-64 architecture 011226.18
IBM S/390 architecture/image 2.4.17-2.woody.5
IBM S/390 architecture/patch 0.0.20020816-0.woody.4
PowerPC architecture (apus) 2.4.17-6
MIPS architecture 2.4.17-0.020226.2.woody7

We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot
the machine.
