You are running a kernel that has known security issues. You should
install a kernel that has fixed those problems.
Please see the following URL for this (I think) specific problem:

Debian woody has fixed kernels which fixed this privilige escalation:
kernel-image-2.4.18-1-<something>. apt-cache search kernel-image should
give you a list of available kernel images (note that the -1 after 18 is
important). Install the one that suites your system.
