Mandriva: Updated kernel packages fix bugs

LinuxSecurity.com: 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)

NAME
afs_syscall, break, ftime, getpmsg, gtty, lock, madvise1, mpx, prof, profil, putpmsg, security, stty, tuxcall, ulimit, vserver - unimple- mented system calls SYNOPSIS
Unimplemented system calls. DESCRIPTION
These system calls are not implemented in the Linux 2.6.22 kernel. RETURN VALUE
These system calls always return -1 and set errno to ENOSYS. NOTES
Note that ftime(3), profil(3) and ulimit(3) are implemented as library functions. Some system calls, like alloc_hugepages(2), free_hugepages(2), ioperm(2), iopl(2), and vm86(2) only exist on certain architectures. Some system calls, like ipc(2), create_module(2), init_module(2), and delete_module(2) only exist when the Linux kernel was built with sup- port for them. SEE ALSO
