More Linux kernel flaws: Multiple DoS and permission vulnerabilities
Updated kernels are available for Gentoo and other systems and users are encouraged to upgrade.
A remote attacker can mount your file-systems and change files group IDs if you are using a vulnerable 2.4 Linux kernel.
A new flaw is also found in the 2.6 series allowing unauthorized modification of entries in /proc, and this is a major security risk.
A VServer Linux specific /proc related issue is also found along with a local DoS vulnerability and a floating point information leak on IA64 platforms.
