- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : kernel-source-2.6.8 et. al.
Vulnerability  : race condition
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2006-3625

It was discovered that a race condition in the process filesystem can lead
to privilege escalation.

The following matrix explains which kernel version for which architecture
fixes the problem mentioned above:

                                 Debian 3.1 (sarge)
     Source                      2.6.8-16sarge4
     Alpha architecture          2.6.8-16sarge4
     AMD64 architecture          2.6.8-16sarge4
     Intel IA-32 architecture    2.6.8-16sarge4
     Intel IA-64 architecture    2.6.8-14sarge4
     PowerPC architecture        2.6.8-12sarge4
     Sun Sparc architecture      2.6.8-15sarge4

As an exploit for this issue in the wild, this advisory was sent out without
builds for the IBM S/390, Motorola 680x0 and HP Precision architectures being
available. They will be released in a followup-advisory as soon as they
are available. Also, the kernels for the FAI installer haven't been updated
yet. As a workaround we recommend to mount proc with the nosuid and noexec
options.

We recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot
the machine. If you have built a custom kernel from the kernel source
package, you will need to rebuild to take advantage of these fixes.

Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
