If you want the details, please take a look at the DSA's from Debian: http://www.debian.org/security/2007/dsa-1378 We recommend that you upgrade your kernel packages to the new 2.6.18 version built for Debian (immidiately if you are running x86_64 or the amd64 flavour of the kernel). Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- Make sure 'deb http://security.debian.org/debian etch/updates main' or similar is present in your /etc/apt/sources.list and run 'aptitude update' to update your package lists. Find which flavour of the kernel you are running with the command 'uname -r' (examples: 386, 586tsc, 686, 686-smp, k6, k7, k7-smp). To upgrade, run this command replacing <flavour> with yours: aptitude install linux-image-2.6.18-5-<flavour> Remember that you have to reboot your computers after upgrading this package. If you are unfamiliar with kernel upgrades, please visit our mini-HOWTO on this subject: http://www.skolelinux.org/security/kernel-upgrade - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For apt-get: deb htp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sarge main Mailing lists: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Package info: `apt-cache show <pkg>' Note: This DESA is the last one going to all the mailinglists above, from now on DESA's will only be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
