Title:	DSA-1772-1 udev -- several
Description:	Sebastian Kramer discovered two vulnerabilities in udev, the /dev and hotplug management daemon. CVE-2009-1185 udev does not check the origin of NETLINK messages, allowing local users to gain root privileges. CVE-2009-1186 udev suffers from a buffer overflow condition in path encoding, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution. For the old stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 0.105-4etch1. For the stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 0.125-7+lenny1. For the unstable distribution, these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your udev package.

Title:	USN-758-1 -- udev vulnerabilities
Description:	Sebastian Krahmer discovered that udev did not correctly validate netlink message senders. A local attacker could send specially crafted messages to udev in order to gain root privileges. Sebastian Krahmer discovered a buffer overflow in the path encoding routines in udev. A local attacker could exploit this to crash udev, leading to a denial of service
