Bug#283619: kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc: Please rebuild against latest kernel-source 2.6.8-9



Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole


Jens, please, can you do a rebuild of the 2.6.8 (and probably 2.6.9 too)
kernels, since there was a new release of the kernel-source package, which
includes security fixes among many other changes : 

  * [SECURITY] Fix problems in binfmt_elf loader; see
    http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0017-binfmt_elf.txt for more
    details (Andres Salomon).
  * [SECURITY] Further smbfs overflow fixes, stolen from -ac tree
    (Andres Salomon).
  * Security: fix race conditions in linux terminal subsystem (CAN-2004-0814)
    (dann frazier)

If you haven't replied to this soonishly, i will try building those kernels
myself and upload them, hope this is ok with you.
