linux-2.6

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-2007-0005
  Daniel Roethlisberger discovered two buffer overflows in the cm4040
  driver for the Omnikey CardMan 4040 device. A local user or malicious
  device could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in kernel space.
• CVE-2007-0958
  Santosh Eraniose reported a vulnerability that allows local users to read
  otherwise unreadable files by triggering a core dump while using PT_INTERP.
  This is related to CVE-2004-1073.
• CVE-2007-1357
  Jean Delvare reported a vulnerability in the appletalk subsystem.
  Systems with the appletalk module loaded can be triggered to crash
  by other systems on the local network via a malformed frame.
• CVE-2007-1592
  Masayuki Nakagawa discovered that flow labels were inadvertently
  being shared between listening sockets and child sockets. This defect
  can be exploited by local users to cause a DoS (Oops).

This problem has been fixed in the stable distribution in version
2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch1.

The following matrix lists additional packages that were rebuilt for
compatibility with or to take advantage of this update:

We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot
the machine. If you have built a custom kernel from the kernel source
package, you will need to rebuild to take advantage of these fixes.

Updated packages for the mips and mipsel architectures are not yet available.
They will be provided later.
