Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Description

## Releases * Ubuntu 8.10 ## Packages * linux \- It was discovered that the Linux kernel could be made to hang temporarily when mounting corrupted ext2/3 filesystems. If a user were tricked into mounting a specially crafted filesystem, a remote attacker could cause system hangs, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3528) Anders Kaseorg discovered that ndiswrapper did not correctly handle long ESSIDs. For a system using ndiswrapper, a physically near-by attacker could generate specially crafted wireless network traffic and execute arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2008-4395)
