  • 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.
