Detail

A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel:

The bdx_ioctl_priv function in the tehuti driver (tehuti.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.25.1 does not properly check certain information related to register size, which has unspecified impact and local attack vectors, probably related to reading or writing kernel memory. (CVE-2008-1675)

Additionaly, some fixes were made, related to: iwlwifi (small bug interacting with drakconnect interface detection), brightness handling on EeePc, uvcvideo on Thinkpad X300, sound for TOSHIBA Satellite Pro A200 and A210, RealTek 8169 ethernet, unionfs, and more.
