"Security fixes :

  - several flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel
    CIFS implementation handles Unicode strings. CIFS
    clients convert Unicode strings sent by a server to
    their local character sets, and then write those strings
    into memory. If a malicious server sent a long enough
    string, it could write past the end of the target memory
    region and corrupt other memory areas, possibly leading
    to a denial of service or privilege escalation on the
    client mounting the CIFS share. (CVE-2009-1439,
    CVE-2009-1633, Important)

  - the Linux kernel Network File System daemon (nfsd)
    implementation did not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability
    when handling requests from local, unprivileged users.
    This flaw could possibly lead to an information leak or
    privilege escalation. (CVE-2009-1072, Moderate)

  - Frank Filz reported the NFSv4 client was missing a file
    permission check for the execute bit in some situations.
    This could allow local, unprivileged users to run
    non-executable files on NFSv4 mounted file systems.
    (CVE-2009-1630, Moderate)

  - a missing check was found in the hypervisor_callback()
    function in the Linux kernel provided by the kernel-xen
    package. This could cause a denial of service of a
    32-bit guest if an application running in that guest
    accesses a certain memory location in the kernel.
    (CVE-2009-1758, Moderate)

  - a flaw was found in the AGPGART driver. The
    agp_generic_alloc_page() and agp_generic_alloc_pages()
    functions did not zero out the memory pages they
    allocate, which may later be available to user-space
    processes. This flaw could possibly lead to an
    information leak. (CVE-2009-1192, Low)

Bug fixes :

  - a race in the NFS client between destroying cached
    access rights and unmounting an NFS file system could
    have caused a system crash. 'Busy inodes' messages may
    have been logged. (BZ#498653)

  - nanosleep() could sleep several milliseconds less than
    the specified time on Intel Itanium®-based systems.
    (BZ#500349)

  - LEDs for disk drives in AHCI mode may have displayed a
    fault state when there were no faults. (BZ#500120)

  - ptrace_do_wait() reported tasks were stopped each time
    the process doing the trace called wait(), instead of
    reporting it once. (BZ#486945)

  - epoll_wait() may have caused a system lockup and
    problems for applications. (BZ#497322)

  - missing capabilities could possibly allow users with an
    fsuid other than 0 to perform actions on some file
    system types that would otherwise be prevented.
    (BZ#497271)

  - on NFS mounted file systems, heavy write loads may have
    blocked nfs_getattr() for long periods, causing commands
    that use stat(2), such as ls, to hang. (BZ#486926)

  - in rare circumstances, if an application performed
    multiple O_DIRECT reads per virtual memory page and also
    performed fork(2), the buffer storing the result of the
    I/O may have ended up with invalid data. (BZ#486921)

  - when using GFS2, gfs2_quotad may have entered an
    uninterpretable sleep state. (BZ#501742)

  - with this update, get_random_int() is more random and no
    longer uses a common seed value, reducing the
    possibility of predicting the values returned.
    (BZ#499783)

  - the '-fwrapv' flag was added to the gcc build options to
    prevent gcc from optimizing away wrapping. (BZ#501751)

  - a kernel panic when enabling and disabling iSCSI paths.
    (BZ#502916)

  - using the Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5704 network device with
    the tg3 driver caused high system load and very bad
    performance. (BZ#502837)

  - '/proc/[pid]/maps' and '/proc/[pid]/smaps' can only be
    read by processes able to use the ptrace() call on a
    given process; however, certain information from
    '/proc/[pid]/stat' and '/proc/[pid]/wchan' could be used
    to reconstruct memory maps. (BZ#499546)

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