    Package : linux-2.6
    Vulnerability : denial of service, privilege escalation
    Problem type : local/remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-1630 CVE-2009-1633 CVE-2009-1758

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
    may lead to a denial of service, or privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
    problems:

    CVE-2009-1630

    Frank Filz discovered that local users may be able to execute
    files without execute permission when accessed via an nfs4 mount.

    CVE-2009-1633

    Jeff Layton and Suresh Jayaraman fixed several buffer overflows in
    the CIFS filesystem which allow remote servers to cause memory
    corruption.

    CVE-2009-1758

    Jan Beulich discovered an issue in Xen where local guest users may
    cause a denial of service (oops).

    This update also fixes a regression introduced by the fix for
    CVE-2009-1184 in 2.6.26-15lenny3. This prevents a boot time panic on
    systems with SELinux enabled.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.6.26-15lenny3.

    For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems, where
    applicable, will be fixed in future updates to linux-2.6 and
    linux-2.6.24.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6 and user-mode-linux
    packages.

    Note: Debian carefully tracks all known security issues across every
    linux kernel package in all releases under active security support.
    However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security
    issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of
    doing an update, updates for lower priority issues will normally not
    be released for all kernels at the same time. Rather, they will be
    released in a staggered or "leap-frog" fashion.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

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

    Debian 5.0 (lenny)
    user-mode-linux 2.6.26-1um-2+15lenny3

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.

    Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias lenny
    - --------------------------------

    Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
