CVE-2007-5501: The tcp_sacktag_write_queue function in net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in Linux kernel 2.6.24-rc2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted ACK responses that trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
CVE-2007-5500: The wait_task_stopped function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23.8 checks a TASK_TRACED bit instead of an exit_state value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (machine crash) via unspecified vectors.
Additional fixes: Fix oops in selinux bitmap code (#394501) Fix oops in netfilter NAT module Major wireless driver updates. libata: fix resume for some devices libata: possible fix for bug #379971 libata: fix broken sata_sis driver (#365331) Automatically load the Dell dcdbas driver (#248257) Initial FireWire OHCI 1.0 Isochronous Receive support (#344851) Touchpad support for Dell Vostro 1400 and Thinkpad R61 (#375471)
