Desconozco si hab�a paquetes de 2.2.15 para Slink. Si es as�, esos estar�an
afectados. Te aseguro que los de Potato no.
kernel: bug in capabilities handling allows root exploits
_________________________________________________________________
Date Reported:
12 Jun 2000
Affected Packages:
kernel-image, kernel-source
Vulnerable:
No
For more information:
There is a widely-reported problem with the handling of POSIX
capabilities in the linux kernel that can lead to root
compromise in setuid applications. This bug does not affect
kernels in the 2.0 or earlier series; the 2.0 kernels installed
by default in debian 2.1 (slink) are not vulnerable. If you are
running a kernel with a version of 2.1.*, 2.2.*, or 2.3.*, you
should upgrade immediately.
Fixed in:
The Debian kernel source package currently in potato,
kernel-source-2.2.15-3, and binaries built from it, such as
kernel-image-2.2.15-2 (or more recent versions), are patched to
prevent this vulnerability. If you prefer to download kernel
source from a mirror of ftp.kernel.org instead of using the
debian package, you should download 2.2.16 or better.
