"Security fixes :

  - memory leaks were found on some error paths in the
    icmp_send() function in the Linux kernel. This could,
    potentially, cause the network connectivity to cease.
    (CVE-2009-0778, Important)

  - Chris Evans reported a deficiency in the clone() system
    call when called with the CLONE_PARENT flag. This flaw
    permits the caller (the parent process) to indicate an
    arbitrary signal it wants to receive when its child
    process exits. This could lead to a denial of service of
    the parent process. (CVE-2009-0028, Moderate)

  - an off-by-one underflow flaw was found in the eCryptfs
    subsystem. This could potentially cause a local denial
    of service when the readlink() function returned an
    error. (CVE-2009-0269, Moderate)

  - a deficiency was found in the Remote BIOS Update (RBU)
    driver for Dell systems. This could allow a local,
    unprivileged user to cause a denial of service by
    reading zero bytes from the image_type or packet_size
    files in '/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/'.
    (CVE-2009-0322, Moderate)

  - an inverted logic flaw was found in the SysKonnect FDDI
    PCI adapter driver, allowing driver statistics to be
    reset only when the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability was absent
    (local, unprivileged users could reset driver
    statistics). (CVE-2009-0675, Moderate)

  - the sock_getsockopt() function in the Linux kernel did
    not properly initialize a data structure that can be
    directly returned to user-space when the getsockopt()
    function is called with SO_BSDCOMPAT optname set. This
    flaw could possibly lead to memory disclosure.
    (CVE-2009-0676, Moderate)

  - the ext2 and ext3 file system code failed to properly
    handle corrupted data structures, leading to a possible
    local denial of service when read or write operations
    were performed on a specially crafted file system.
    (CVE-2008-3528, Low)

  - a deficiency was found in the libATA implementation.
    This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of
    service. Note: by default, the '/dev/sg*' devices are
    accessible only to the root user. (CVE-2008-5700, Low)

Bug fixes :

  - a bug in aic94xx may have caused kernel panics during
    boot on some systems with certain SATA disks.
    (BZ#485909)

  - a word endianness problem in the qla2xx driver on
    PowerPC-based machines may have corrupted flash-based
    devices. (BZ#485908)

  - a memory leak in pipe() may have caused a system
    deadlock. The workaround, which involved manually
    allocating extra file descriptors toprocesses calling
    do_pipe, is no longer necessary. (BZ#481576)

  - CPU soft-lockups in the network rate estimator.
    (BZ#481746)

  - bugs in the ixgbe driver caused it to function
    unreliably on some systems with 16 or more CPU cores.
    (BZ#483210)

  - the iwl4965 driver may have caused a kernel panic.
    (BZ#483206)

  - a bug caused NFS attributes to not update for some
    long-lived NFS mounted file systems. (BZ#483201)

  - unmounting a GFS2 file system may have caused a panic.
    (BZ#485910)

  - a bug in ptrace() may have caused a panic when single
    stepping a target. (BZ#487394)

  - on some 64-bit systems, notsc was incorrectly set at
    boot, causing slow gettimeofday() calls. (BZ#488239)

  - do_machine_check() cleared all Machine Check Exception
    (MCE) status registers, preventing the BIOS from using
    them to determine the cause of certain panics and
    errors. (BZ#490433)

  - scaling problems caused performance problems for LAPI
    applications. (BZ#489457)

  - a panic may have occurred on systems using certain Intel
    WiFi Link 5000 products when booting with the RF Kill
    switch on. (BZ#489846)

  - the TSC is invariant with C/P/T states, and always runs
    at constant frequency from now on. (BZ#489310)

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect."
