 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2007:047
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : kernel
 Date    : February 21, 2007
 Affected: 2007.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6
 kernel:
 
 A double free vulnerability in the squashfs module could allow a local
 user to cause a Denial of Service by mounting a crafted squashfs
 filesystem (CVE-2006-5701).
 
 The zlib_inflate function allows local users to cause a crash via a
 malformed filesystem that uses zlib compression that triggers memory
 corruption (CVE-2006-5823).
 
 The key serial number collision avoidance code in the key_alloc_serial
 function in kernels 2.6.9 up to 2.6.20 allows local users to cause a
 crash via vectors thatr trigger a null dereference (CVE-2007-0006).
 
 The provided packages are patched to fix these vulnerabilities.  All
 users are encouraged to upgrade to these updated kernels immediately
 and reboot to effect the fixes.
 
 In addition to these security fixes, other fixes have been included
 such as:
 
   - New drivers: nozomi, UVC
   - Fixed SiS SATA support for chips on 966/968 bridges
   - Fixed issues in squashfs by updating to 3.2 (#27008)
   - Added support for SiS968 bridgest to the sis190 bridge
   - Fixed JMicron cable detection
   - Added /proc/config.gz support and enabled kexec on x86_64
   - Other minor fixes
