Title: DSA-2012 linux-2.6 -- privilege escalation/denial of service
Description: Two 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: Philipp Reisner reported an issue in the connector subsystem which allows unprivileged users to send netlink packets. This allows local users to manipulate settings for uvesafb devices which are normally reserved for privileged users. Jermome Marchand reported an issue in the futex subsystem that allows a local user to force an invalid futex state which results in a denial of service. This update also includes fixes for regressions introduced by previous updates. See the referenced Debian bug pages for details.
