Several serious problems have been discovered in the Linux kernel. For
a more detailed description, take a look at the Debian Security
Advisory which describes the same vulnerabilities:
http://www.debian.org/security/2004/dsa-479
The new kernel packages are fetched directly from Debian's unstable
archives, packaged by Herbert Xu.
We recommend that you upgrade your kernel packages. These problems
will also be fixed by upstream in Linux 2.4.26 and future versions of
2.6.
Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------
Make sure 'deb ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux/ woody local' is
present in your /etc/apt/sources.list and run 'apt-get update' to
update your package lists.
Find which flavour of the kernel you are running with the command
'uname -r' (examples: 386, 586tsc, 686, 686-smp, k6, k7, k7-smp).
To upgrade, run this command replacing <flavour> with yours:
apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.25-1-<flavour>
