  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2007-6712

Johannes Bauer discovered an integer overflow condition in the hrtimer subsystem on 64-bit systems. This can be exploited by local users to trigger a denial of service (DoS) by causing the kernel to execute an infinite loop.

CVE-2008-1615

Jan Kratochvil reported a local denial of service condition that permits local users on systems running the amd64 flavor kernel to cause a system crash.

CVE-2008-2136

Paul Harks discovered a memory leak in the Simple Internet Transition (SIT) code used for IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels. This can be exploited by remote users to cause a denial of service condition.

CVE-2008-2137

David Miller and Jan Lieskovsky discovered issues with the virtual address range checking of mmaped regions on the sparc architecture that may be exploited by local users to cause a denial of service.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch5.

Builds for linux-2.6/s390 and fai-kernels/powerpc were not yet available at the time of this advisory. This advisory will be updated as these builds become available.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux-2.6, fai-kernels, and user-mode-linux packages.");
