                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           kernel
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:110
 Date:                   December 1st, 2003

 Affected versions:	 9.0, 9.1, Corporate Server 2.1,
			 Multi Network Firewall 8.2
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability was discovered in the Linux kernel versions 2.4.22 and
 previous.  A flaw in bounds checking in the do_brk() function can
 allow a local attacker to gain root privileges.  This vulnerability is
 known to be exploitable; an exploit is in the wild at this time.
 
 The Mandrake Linux 9.2 kernels are not vulnerable to this problem as
 the fix for it is already present in those kernels.
 
 MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade their systems immediately.
