Package description:
  The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your

  functions of the operating system:  memory allocation, process allocation,
  device input and output, etc.


Problem description:
  Problem 1:
  Paul Starzetz discovered a bug in the IGMP networking modules of the
  Linux kernel.  This allows for a remote DoS and local root exploit.

  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
  assigned the name CAN-2004-1137 to this issue.


  Problem 2:
  Paul Starzetz discovered a bug in the socket API of the Linux kernel.
  This allows for a local DoS.
