Missing security fixes for Woody kernel
The latest 2.4 kernel for Woody (kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686 version
2.4.18-13.1) is still vulnerable to the FPU crash CAN-2004-0554
discovered back in June 2004 and fixed in the 2.4.27 kernel. The code
available at http://www.securiteam.com/exploits/5ZP0N0AD5A.html will
crash an up to date Woody system.
Is there going to be a backported fix for this issue for Woody?
The 2.4.27 and 2.4.28 kernels also fix a number of other security
issues. Are there going to be updates to the Woody 2.4 kernel to fix
these too?
Thanks,
Phil
