This update fixes the following security issues :

  - A flaw was found in the sctp_icmp_proto_unreachable()     function in the Linux kernel's Stream Control     Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation. A remote     attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2010-4526, Important)

  - A missing boundary check was found in the dvb_ca_ioctl()     function in the Linux kernel's av7110 module. On systems     that use old DVB cards that require the av7110 module, a     local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a     denial of service or escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2011-0521, Important)

  - A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel's     InfiniBand implementation set up new connections. This     could allow a remote user to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2011-0695, Important)

  - A heap overflow flaw in the iowarrior_write() function     could allow a user with access to an IO-Warrior USB     device, that supports more than 8 bytes per report, to     cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges.
    (CVE-2010-4656, Moderate)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux Ethernet bridge     implementation handled certain IGMP (Internet Group     Management Protocol) packets. A local, unprivileged user     on a system that has a network interface in an Ethernet     bridge could use this flaw to crash that system     (CVE-2011-0716, Moderate)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Generic     Receive Offload (GRO) functionality in the Linux     kernel's networking implementation. If both GRO and     promiscuous mode were enabled on an interface in a     virtual LAN (VLAN), it could result in a denial of     service when a malformed VLAN frame is received on that     interface. (CVE-2011-1478, Moderate)

  - A missing initialization flaw in the Linux kernel could     lead to an information leak. (CVE-2010-3296, Low)

  - A missing security check in the Linux kernel's     implementation of the install_special_mapping() function     could allow a local, unprivileged user to bypass the     mmap_min_addr protection mechanism. (CVE-2010-4346, Low)

  - A logic error in the orinoco_ioctl_set_auth() function     in the Linux kernel's ORiNOCO wireless extensions     support implementation could render TKIP countermeasures     ineffective when it is enabled, as it enabled the card     instead of shutting it down. (CVE-2010-4648, Low)

  - A missing initialization flaw was found in the     ethtool_get_regs() function in the Linux kernel's     ethtool IOCTL handler. A local user who has the     CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this flaw to cause an     information leak. (CVE-2010-4655, Low)

  - An information leak was found in the Linux kernel's     task_show_regs() implementation. On IBM S/390 systems, a     local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to read     /proc/[PID]/status files, allowing them to discover the     CPU register values of processes. (CVE-2011-0710, Low)

This update also fixes several bugs.

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

  - CVE-2011-1477     Dan Rosenberg reported issues in the Open Sound System     driver for cards that include a Yamaha FM synthesizer     chip. Local users can cause memory corruption resulting     in a denial of service. This issue does not affect     official Debian Linux image packages as they no longer     provide support for OSS. However, custom kernels built     from Debians linux-source-2.6.26 may have enabled this     configuration and would therefore be vulnerable.

  - CVE-2011-1493     Dan Rosenburg reported two issues in the Linux     implementation of the Amateur Radio X.25 PLP (Rose)     protocol. A remote user can cause a denial of service by     providing specially crafted facilities fields.

  - CVE-2011-1598     Dave Jones reported an issue in the Broadcast Manager     Controller Area Network (CAN/BCM) protocol that may     allow local users to cause a NULL pointer dereference,     resulting in a denial of service.

  - CVE-2011-1745     Vasiliy Kulikov reported an issue in the Linux support     for AGP devices. Local users can obtain elevated     privileges or cause a denial of service due to missing     bounds checking in the AGPIOC_BIND ioctl. On default     Debian installations, this is exploitable only by users     in the video group.

  - CVE-2011-1746     Vasiliy Kulikov reported an issue in the Linux support     for AGP devices. Local users can obtain elevated     privileges or cause a denial of service due to missing     bounds checking in the agp_allocate_memory and     agp_create_user_memory. On default Debian installations,     this is exploitable only by users in the video group.

  - CVE-2011-1748     Oliver Kartkopp reported an issue in the Controller Area     Network (CAN) raw socket implementation which permits     ocal users to cause a NULL pointer dereference,     resulting in a denial of service.

  - CVE-2011-1759     Dan Rosenberg reported an issue in the support for     executing 'old ABI' binaries on ARM processors. Local     users can obtain elevated privileges due to insufficient     bounds checking in the semtimedop system call.

  - CVE-2011-2022     Vasiliy Kulikov reported an issue in the Linux support     for AGP devices. Local users can obtain elevated     privileges or cause a denial of service due to missing     bounds checking in the AGPIOC_UNBIND ioctl. On default     Debian installations, this is exploitable only by users     in the video group.

  - CVE-2011-2182     Ben Hutchings reported an issue with the fix for     CVE-2011-1017 (see above) that made it insufficient to     resolve the issue.
