    value:
"This kernel update fixes the following security problems :

  - The IPv6 protocol allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service via crafted IPv6 type 0 route headers
    (IPV6_RTHDR_TYPE_0) that create network amplification
    between two routers. (CVE-2007-2242)

    The default is that RH0 is disabled now. To adjust this,
    write to the file /proc/net/accept_source_route6.

  - The random number feature in the Linux kernel 2.6 (1)
    did not properly seed pools when there is no entropy, or
    (2) used an incorrect cast when extracting entropy,
    which might have caused the random number generator to
    provide the same values after reboots on systems without
    an entropy source. (CVE-2007-2453)

  - A NULL pointer dereference in SCTP connection tracking
    could be caused by a remote attacker by sending
    specially crafted packets. Note that this requires SCTP
    set-up and active to be exploitable. (CVE-2007-2876)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the random number
    generator (RNG) implementation in the Linux kernel
    before 2.6.22 might allow local root users to cause a
    denial of service or gain privileges by setting the
    default wakeup threshold to a value greater than the
    output pool size, which triggers writing random numbers
    to the stack by the pool transfer function involving
    'bound check ordering'. (CVE-2007-3105)

    Since this value can only be changed by a root user,
    exploitability is low.

  - The signal handling in the Linux kernel, when run on
    PowerPC systems using HTX, allows local users to cause a
    denial of service via unspecified vectors involving
    floating point corruption and concurrency.
    (CVE-2007-3107)

  - Memory leak in the PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) socket
    implementation in the Linux kernel allowed local users
    to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by
    creating a socket using connect, and releasing it before
    the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl is initialized. (CVE-2007-2525)

  - The lcd_write function in drivers/usb/misc/usblcd.c in
    the Linux kernel did not limit the amount of memory used
    by a caller, which allowed local users to cause a denial
    of service (memory consumption). (CVE-2007-3513)

  - A local attacker could send a death signal to a setuid
    root program under certain conditions, potentially
    causing unwanted behaviour in this program.
    (CVE-2007-3848)

  - On machines with a Intel i965 based graphics card local
    users with access to the direct rendering devicenode
    could overwrite memory on the machine and so gain root
    privileges. (CVE-2007-3851)

  - Fixed a denial of service possibility where a local
    attacker with access to a pwc camera device could hang
    the USB subsystem. [#302194]
