kernel-generic 2.6.24.5 - 2 01 May 08, 03:36 a
Patched to fix a security issue in
fs/dnotify.c. The use of dnotify (largely replaced by inotify on 2.6.x
systems) could lead to a local DoS, or possibly a local root hole. We said
we wouldn't make changes now unless something was "critical" -- and it seems
we got what we wished for. ;-) This flaw will also be addressed in the
kernels for previous releases as soon as possible. The patch itself may be
found in source/k/linux-2.6.24.5-CVE-2008-1375-patch/.
For additional information (when the CVE candidate is opened), see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1375
All the kernel packages below should also be considered security fixes.

cups 1.3.7 - 2 29 Apr 08, 06:43 a
Applied patch str2790 to fix crash bugs in the PNG
image filter. The issues are not believed to be capable of either a DoS (at
worst, it simply crashes the filter processing the current job and does not
crash the scheduler daemon, which just moves on to the next job in the print
queue), nor arbitrary code execution (data from the image is never stored in
the affected tile array). Still, it seems to be worth fixing here just in
case. The CUPS bug report may be found here:

libpng 1.2.27 - 1 29 Apr 08, 06:43 l

Upgraded to libpng-1.2.27.
This fixes various bugs, the most important of which have to do with the
handling of unknown chunks containing zero-length data. Processing a PNG
image that contains these could cause the application using libpng to crash
(possibly resulting in a denial of service), could potentially expose the
contents of uninitialized memory, or could cause the execution of arbitrary
code as the user running libpng (though it would probably be quite difficult
to cause the execution of attacker-chosen code). We recommend upgrading the
package as soon as possible.
For more information, see:
