Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux

2.6 kernel:

 

The minix filesystem code allows local users to cause a denial of

service (hang) via a malformed minix file stream (CVE-2006-6058).

 

An integer underflow in the Linux kernel prior to 2.6.23 allows remote

attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SKB length

value in a runt IEEE 802.11 frame when the IEEE80211_STYPE_QOS_DATA

flag is set (CVE-2007-4997).

 

To update your kernel, please follow the directions located at:
