kernel: several vulnerabilities

Package(s):linux-2.6 CVE #(s):CVE-2007-2878 CVE-2007-6151
Created:January 29, 2008 Updated:July 8, 2008
Description: From the Debian advisory: Bart Oldeman reported a denial of service (DoS) issue in the VFAT filesystem that allows local users to corrupt a kernel structure resulting in a system crash. This is only an issue for systems which make use of the VFAT compat ioctl interface, such as systems running an 'amd64' flavor kernel. ADLAB discovered a possible memory overrun in the ISDN subsystem that may permit a local user to overwrite kernel memory leading by issuing ioctls with unterminated data.
