 Package : kernel
 Date    : April 17, 2006
 Affected: Corporate 3.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0

 Problem Description:
 
 A number of vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
 2.6 kernel:
 
 Prior to Linux kernel 2.6.5, a numeric casting discrepancy in sdla_xfer
 allowed local users to read portions of kernel memory (CVE-2004-2607).
 
 Prior to 2.6.12, multiple "range checking flaws" in ISO9660 filesystem
 handler could allow attackers to cause a DoS or corrupt memory via a
 crafted filesystem (CVE-2005-0815).
 
 Prior to 2.6.14-rc5, when running IPv6, the udp_v6_get_port function
 allowed local users to cause a DoS (infinite loop and crash)
 (CVE-2005-2973).
 
 A race condition when threads are sharing memory mapping via CLONE_VM
 could allow local users to cause a DoS (deadlock) by triggering a core
 dump (CVE-2005-3106).
 
 When one thread is tracing another thread that shares the same memory
 map, could allow local users to cause a DoS (deadlock) by forcing a
 core dump (CVE-2005-3107).
 
 A race condition in the ebtables netfilter module, when running on an
 SMP system under heavy load, might allow remote attackers to cause a
 DoS (crash) via  series of packets that cause a value to be modified
 after if has been read but before it has been locked (CVE-2005-3110).
 
 Prior to 2.6.14.2, the ptrace functionality, using CLONE_THREAD, does
 not use the thread group ID to check whether it is attaching to itself,
 allowing local users to cause a DoS (crash) (CVE-2005-3783).
 
 Prior to 2.6.14, the IPv6 flow label handling code modified the wrong
 variable in certain circumstances, which allowed local user to corrupt
 kernel memory or cause a DoS (crash) by triggering a free of non-
 allocated memory (CVE-2005-3806).
 
 Prior to 2.6.12.6 and 2.6.13, a memory leak in the icmp_push_reply
 function allowed remote attackers to cause a DoS (memory consumption)
 via a large number of crafted packets (CVE-2005-3848).
 
 Prior to 2.6.15-rc3, the time_out_leases function allowed local users
 to cause a DoS (kernel log message consumption) by causing a large
 number of broken leases, which is recorded to the log using the printk
 function (CVE-2005-3857).
 
 In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included
 such as:
 
 - fix nfs blocksize setting (bk tree)
 - update sata_sil to 0.9
 - update ndiswrapper to 1.0
 - update 3w-9xxx to 2.26.04.007 (9550SX support)
 - update tg3 "ng" (3.6)
 - add support for ATI IXP400 audio (alsa) and ide
 - add support for new sata_sil chipset for RS480 platforms (NEC)
 - add support for MCP51 IDE & NIC (nForce 430)
 - various x86_64 fixes from newer kernels
 - sata_nv: support for MCP51
 - piix: ICH7 support
 - add netcell and piccolo support
 - updated e100 and e1000 drivers from 2006
 - updated aic79xx
 
 The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities.  All
 users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels.
