Detail

CVE-2010-2492

Andre Osterhues reported an issue in the eCryptfs subsystem. A buffer overflow condition may allow local users to cause a denial of service or gain elevated privileges.

CVE-2010-2954

Tavis Ormandy reported an issue in the irda subsystem which may allow local users to cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2010-3078

Dan Rosenberg discovered an issue in the XFS file system that allows local users to read potentially sensitive kernel memory. CVE-2010-3080

Tavis Ormandy reported an issue in the ALSA sequencer OSS emulation layer. Local users with sufficient privileges to open /dev/sequencer (by default on Debian, this is members of the 'audio' group) can cause a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2010-3081

Ben Hawkes discovered an issue in the 32-bit compatibility code for 64-bit systems. Local users can gain elevated privileges due to insufficient checks in compat_alloc_user_space allocations. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.26-25lenny1.

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

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