Critical update for the Debian kernel

Madrid, December 15, 2005 - Debian has released security updates that resolve several vulnerabilities in versions 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 of the Linux kernel.

The updates are critical, as an attacker could exploit, either locally or remotely, several security flaws to cause problems ranging from denial of services to execution of arbitrary code. For this reason, users of affected computers are advised to install the corresponding update and restart their computers for it to come into effect.

More information about the vulnerabilities corrected and the updates (where they are available and the commands for installing them) are available in the advisories published by Debian at the following
addresses:

- Advisory DSA-921-1: http://www.debian.org/security/2005/dsa-921

- Advisory DSA-922-1: http://www.debian.org/security/2005/dsa-922
