I've just seen an announcement for a "Linux Kernel e1000 Ethernet Card
Driver Buffer Overflow Vulnerability", published as Bugtraq ID 10352
(http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10352) it seems to affect all kernel
versions 2.4 and up, so that includes kernel 2.4.16-1, 2.4.17 and 2.4.18,
in woody as well as newer kernel versions in sarge and sid.
Reviewing the recent kernel vulnerabilities, the following seem to affect
the current kernels in woody (and sarge, sid)
- CAN-2004-0427, BID-10221 (Linux kernel do_fork() Memory Leakage
Vulnerability)
- CAN-2004-0394, BID-10233 (Linux Kernel Panic Function Call Buffer
Overflow
Vulnerability)
- CAN-2004-0181, BID-10143 (Linux Kernel JFS File System Information
Leakage Vulnerability)
- BID-10352 (Linux Kernel e1000 Ethernet Card Driver Buffer Overflow
Vulnerability)
