Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2008-1673 Wei Wang from McAfee reported a potential heap overflow in the ASN.1 decode code that is used by the SNMP NAT and CIFS subsystem. Exploitation of this issue may lead to arbitrary code execution. This issue is not believed to be exploitable with the pre-built kernel images provided by Debian, but it might be an issue for custom images built from the Debian-provided source package.
