"This kernel update fixes the following security problems :

  - A race condition allows local users to gain root
    privileges by changing the file mode of /proc/self/
    files in a way that causes those files (for instance
    /proc/self/environ) to become setuid root. [#192688].
    (CVE-2006-3626)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow in CDROM / DVD handling
    was fixed which could be used by a physical local
    attacker to crash the kernel or execute code within
    kernel context, depending on presence of automatic DVD
    handling in the system. [#190396]. (CVE-2006-2935)

  - Due to an argument validation error in
    prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE) a local attacker can easily gain
    administrator (root) privileges. [#186980].
    (CVE-2006-2451)

and the following non security bugs :

  - Limit the maximum number of LUNs to 16384 [#185164]

  - LSI 1030/MPT Fusion driver hang during error recovery --
    Optionally disable QAS [#180100]

  - advance buffer pointers in h_copy_rdma() to avoid data
    corruption [#186444]"
