Hi, I am running a minimal install debian machine as a firewall and I would like to keep it secure and up to date.
I included deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free deb http://security.debian.org etch/update main contrib as the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list and I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade Now I notice that there was a Recent advisory about the linux kernel http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1494 The vmsplice system call did not properly verify address arguments passed by user space processes, which allowed local attackers to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, gaining root privileges (CVE-2008-0010, CVE-2008-0600). and the page references a fix at http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.18-6-486_2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch1_i386.deb but why is my machine not running this new kernel????? I ran the update, and upgrade with apt???? I still see that my kernel version is linux-image-2.6.18-3-486 and not linux-image-2.6.18-6-48. what did I do wrong? how to make sure all updates are done?????? thanks, Mitchell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
