Several local 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:
These problems have been fixed in the stable distribution in version
2.6.18.dfsg.1-17etch1.
We recommend that you upgrade your kernel packages 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.
