This update fixes the CVEs described below.
Additionally, it fixes some old security issues with no CVE ID:
Several kernel APIs permitted reading or writing 2 GiB of data or
more in a single chunk, which could lead to an integer overflow
when applied to certain filesystems, socket or device types. The
full security impact has not been evaluated.
Finally, it fixes a regression in 2.6.32-48squeeze17 that would cause
Samba to hang in some situations.
For the oldoldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been
fixed in version 2.6.32-48squeeze20. This is *really* the final
update to the linux-2.6 package for squeeze.
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), the kernel was not affected
by the integer overflow issues and the remaining problems will be
fixed in version 3.2.73-2+deb7u3.
For the stable distribution (jessie), the kernel was not affected by
the integer overflow issues or CVE-2016-0774, and the remaining
problems will be fixed in version 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4.
