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
