Problem Description:

Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux
2.6 kernel:

Array index error in the gdth_read_event function in
drivers/scsi/gdth.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc8 allows
local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges
via a negative event index in an IOCTL request. (CVE-2009-3080)

The collect_rx_frame function in drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_usb.c in the
Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc7 allows attackers to have an unspecified
impact via a crafted HDLC packet that arrives over ISDN and triggers
a buffer under-read. (CVE-2009-4005)

Additionally, the Linux kernel was updated to the stable release
2.6.27.45.

The nvidia173-kernel x86_64 packages was missing with MDVSA-2010:034
for the Enterprise 5 product. This advisory provides the missing
packages.
