Package        : linux-2.6
Vulnerability  : missing access checks
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-0010 CVE-2008-0163 CVE-2008-0600

The vmsplice system call did not properly verify address arguments
passed by user space processes, which allowed local attackers to
overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, gaining root privileges
(CVE-2008-0010, CVE-2008-0600).

In the vserver-enabled kernels, a missing access check on certain
symlinks in /proc enabled local attackers to access resources in other
vservers (CVE-2008-0163).

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch1.

In addition to these fixes, this update also incorporates changes from the
upcoming point release of the stable distribution.

The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected by this problem.

The unstable (sid) and testing distributions will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6 package.
