http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.25.9 Security
updates: CVE-2008-2750: The pppol2tp_recvmsg function in drivers/net/pppol2tp.c
in the Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.26-rc6 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (kernel heap memory corruption and system crash) and possibly
have unspecified other impact via a crafted PPPOL2TP packet that results in a
large value for a certain length variable. CVE-2008-2358: The Datagram
Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) subsystem in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and
probably other versions, does not properly check feature lengths, which might
allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, related to an unspecified
"overflow." Wireless driver updates: - Upstream wireless fixes from
