DESCRIPTION:
Debian has issued an update for linux-2.6. This fixes some
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
cause a DoS (Denial of Service), disclose potentially sensitive
information, and gain escalated privileges, and by malicious people
to cause a DoS.

1) Errors within the implementation of the External Data
Representation (XDR) for NFSv4 can be exploited to cause a kernel
panic and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially
crafted compound requests to the NFSv4 server.

2) An error within the GFS2 file system when handing certain rename
operations can be exploited to cause a kernel crash.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.
