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)
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.
