Changes: 
 linux-source-2.6.9 (2.6.9-6) hoary; urgency=low
 .
   * [SECURITY] Fix multiple IGMP handling vulnerabilities.
     . Add patch fix-igmp.dpatch. (CAN-2004-1137)
 .
   There are multiple serious issues with the igmp.c code in recent kernel
   versions. Here an incomplete list of bugs:
 .
   1) ip_mc_source suffers from a serious kernel deadlock & kernel memory
      overwrite problem. It is possible to decrement the psl->sl_count counter
      to be 0xffffffff == -1 with the consequence that:
 .
      - a repeated call will start a loop counting from 0 to UINT_MAX causing a
        kernel hang for minutes (depending on the machine speed), then the
        whole kernel memory following the kmalloc'ated buffer will be shifted
        by 4 bytes causing an immediate reboot.
 .
      - If properly exploited this will lead to elevated privileges.
 .
   2) because of the bug 1) it is possible to read huge portions of kernel
      memory through ip_mc_msfget()
 .
   3) igmp_marksources() function is called in the context of an IGMP group
      query and suffers from an out of bound access to kernel memory. This is
      remotely exploitable if applications have bound a multicast socket.
 .
   This bug allows in the best case to remotely DoS a Linux machine with just
   a moderate flow of prepared IGMP packets.
 .
   In the worst case (the socket buffer allocated for the packet is at the
   end of kernel accessible memory), the Linux machine may be crashed
   remotely.
 .
   * Ship cloop as modules on sparc:
     . Fix FTBFS.
     . Update config file:
       - CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CLOOP=m.
     . Add debian/d-i/sparc/modules/sparc64/loop-modules to include cloop.o.
       Note: loop-modules for sparc is not a lnk to the one shipped by
       kernel-wedge since loop.o is compiled in.
 .
   * Update the cloop help text specifing that the code cannot be compiled in.
     It must be a module.
