Several security related problems have been discovered in the Linux kernel which may lead to a denial of service or even the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2005-4798     A buffer overflow in NFS readlink handling allows a     malicious remote server to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2006-2935     Diego Calleja Garcia discovered a buffer overflow in the     DVD handling code that could be exploited by a specially     crafted DVD USB storage device to execute arbitrary     code.

  - CVE-2006-1528     A bug in the SCSI driver allows a local user to cause a     denial of service.

  - CVE-2006-2444     Patrick McHardy discovered a bug in the SNMP NAT helper     that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service.

  - CVE-2006-2446     A race condition in the socket buffer handling allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

  - CVE-2006-3745     Wei Wang discovered a bug in the SCTP implementation     that allows local users to cause a denial of service and     possibly gain root privileges.

  - CVE-2006-4535     David Miller reported a problem with the fix for     CVE-2006-3745 that allows local users to crash the     system via an SCTP socket with a certain SO_LINGER     value.

The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture fixes the problem mentioned above :

This advisory covers the S/390 components of the recent security update for the Linux 2.6.8 kernel that were missing due to technical problems. For reference, please see the text of the original advisory.

  Several security related problems have been discovered in the Linux   kernel which may lead to a denial of service or even the execution   of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project   identifies the following problems :

    - CVE-2004-2660       Toshihiro Iwamoto discovered a memory leak in the       handling of direct I/O writes that allows local users       to cause a denial of service.

    - CVE-2005-4798       A buffer overflow in NFS readlink handling allows a       malicious remote server to cause a denial of service.

    - CVE-2006-1052       Stephen Smalley discovered a bug in the SELinux ptrace       handling that allows local users with ptrace       permissions to change the tracer SID to the SID of       another process.

    - CVE-2006-1343       Pavel Kankovsky discovered an information leak in the       getsockopt system call which can be exploited by a       local program to leak potentially sensitive memory to       userspace.

    - CVE-2006-1528       Douglas Gilbert reported a bug in the sg driver that       allows local users to cause a denial of service by       performing direct I/O transfers from the sg driver to       memory mapped I/O space.

    - CVE-2006-1855       Mattia Belletti noticed that certain debugging code       left in the process management code could be exploited       by a local attacker to cause a denial of service.

    - CVE-2006-1856       Kostik Belousov discovered a missing LSM       file_permission check in the readv and writev       functions which might allow attackers to bypass       intended access restrictions.

    - CVE-2006-2444       Patrick McHardy discovered a bug in the SNMP NAT       helper that allows remote attackers to cause a denial       of service.

    - CVE-2006-2446       A race condition in the socket buffer handling allows       remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

    - CVE-2006-3468       James McKenzie discovered a denial of service       vulnerability in the NFS driver. When exporting an       ext3 file system over NFS, a remote attacker could       exploit this to trigger a file system panic by sending       a specially crafted UDP packet.

    - CVE-2006-3745       Wei Wang discovered a bug in the SCTP implementation       that allows local users to cause a denial of service       and possibly gain root privileges.

    - CVE-2006-4093       Olof Johansson discovered that the kernel does not       disable the HID0 bit on PowerPC 970 processors which       could be exploited by a local attacker to cause a       denial of service.

    - CVE-2006-4145       A bug in the Universal Disk Format (UDF) filesystem       driver could be exploited by a local user to cause a       denial of service.
