Synopsis: Moderate: kernel security and bugfix update Issue date: 2007-09-04 CVE Names: CVE-2006-0558 CVE-2007-1217 These new kernel packages contain fixes for the security issues described below: * a flaw in the ISDN CAPI subsystem that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service or potential remote access. Exploitation would require the attacker to be able to send arbitrary frames over the ISDN network to the victim's machine. (CVE-2007-1217, Moderate) * a flaw in the perfmon subsystem on ia64 platforms that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-0558, Moderate) In addition, the following bugs were addressed: * a panic after reloading of the LSI Fusion driver. * a vm performance problem was corrected by balancing inactive page lists. * added a nodirplus option to address NFSv3 performance issues with large directories. * changed the personality handling to disallow personality changes of setuid and setgid binaries. This ensures they keep any randomization and Exec-shield protection.
