Update to Linux 2.6.22.14: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.10 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.11 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.12 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.13 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.14
CVE-2007-5501: The tcp_sacktag_write_queue function in net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in Linux kernel 2.6.24-rc2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted ACK responses that trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
CVE-2007-5500: The wait_task_stopped function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23.8 checks a TASK_TRACED bit instead of an exit_state value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (machine crash) via unspecified vectors.
Plus: Fix compat class device links in sysfs. Fix boot speed when virtualized on Intel VT processors. Fix ppc64 vDSO DWARF info for CR register (#350291)
