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:

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 of information disclosure.
CVE-2004-0949

CVE-2004-1333
An integer overflow in the terminal code may allow a local denial of
service vulnerability.

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-2005-0528

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
fix the problems mentioned above:
Debian 3.0 (woody)
Source 2.4.19-4
Sun Sparc architecture 26woody1
Little endian MIPS architecture 0.020911.1.woody5
We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot
the machine.
Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------
