CAN-2005-0001, CAN-2004-1235, CAN-2004-1137, CAN-2004-1016, Georgi Guninski security advisory #72, 2004, grsecurity 2.1.0 release



Greetings,

things seem to be in a rush right now, and I'm looking for a little overview.
In the past 1-2 months several kernel exploits rushed through the news that 
might / can / probably will affect debian stable. However, I haven't seen any 
signle DSA regarding the following issues: Can you please give me an 
overview:  Which problems do affected kernel-source-2,4.18? - If so, what is 
the current status of the according DSA? Because of running an 
terminal-Server I'd like to know, what's going on at these issues.


Thanks in advance, Keep smiling

SMP ;)
CAN-2004-1235 "Linux kernel uselib() privilege elevation"

included, seems to be discussed here)
CAN-2004-1137 "Linux kernel IGMP vulnerabilities" (Sounds really scary. Are we 
effected? Debian Woody seems to be uneffected, but what about sarge / sid?)

grsecurity 2.1.0

gives on scary / FUD-ish view on the linux kernel. Without discussing their 
thesis in detail, are patches available? Is kernel-source-2.4.18 affected?
