Package(s):	linux-2.6	CVE #(s):	CVE-2007-2878 CVE-2007-6151
Created:	January 29, 2008	Updated:	January 8, 2009
Description:	From the Debian advisory: Bart Oldeman reported a denial of service (DoS) issue in the VFAT filesystem that allows local users to corrupt a kernel structure resulting in a system crash. This is only an issue for systems which make use of the VFAT compat ioctl interface, such as systems running an 'amd64' flavor kernel. ADLAB discovered a possible memory overrun in the ISDN subsystem that may permit a local user to overwrite kernel memory leading by issuing ioctls with unterminated data.
