    Package : linux-2.6
    Vulnerability : privilege escalation/denial of service/information leak Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2014-0196 CVE-2014-1737 CVE-2014-1738

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

    CVE-2014-0196

    Jiri Slaby discovered a race condition in the pty layer, which could lead
    to a denial of service or privilege escalation.

    CVE-2014-1737 CVE-2014-1738

    Matthew Daley discovered an information leak and missing input
    sanitising in the FDRAWCMD ioctl of the floppy driver. This could result
    in a privilege escalation.

    For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.32-48squeeze6.

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

    Debian 6.0 (squeeze)
    user-mode-linux 2.6.32-1um-4+48squeeze6

    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.

    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
