According to the debian.org mailing list three security vulnerabilites have now been fixed with the release of numerous updates for Linux kernel 2.6.8 as detailed in Debian Security Advisory DSA 1304-1.
The latest update also fixes a number of other problems, such as the regression in the smbfs subsystem introduced in DSA-1233 causing symlinks to be interpreted as regular files. Debian recommend that you upgrade your kernel package immediately and reboot the machine, and if you have built a custom kernel from the kernel source package that you rebuild to take advantage of the new fixes.
