Advisories MDVSA-2008:109: Updated kernel packages fix bugs
A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in the Linux 2.6 kernel:

The bdx_ioctl_priv function in the tehuti driver (tehuti.c) in
Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.25.1 does not properly check certain
information related to register size, which has unspecified impact
and local attack vectors, probably related to reading or writing
kernel memory. (CVE-2008-1675)

Additionaly, some fixes were made, related to: iwlwifi (small bug
interacting with drakconnect interface detection), brightness handling
on EeePc, uvcvideo on Thinkpad X300, sound for TOSHIBA Satellite Pro
A200 and A210, RealTek 8169 ethernet, unionfs, and more.
