  - CVE-2011-1745     Vasiliy Kulikov reported an issue in the Linux support     for AGP devices. Local users can obtain elevated     privileges or cause a denial of service due to missing     bounds checking in the AGPIOC_BIND ioctl. On default     Debian installations, this is exploitable only by users     in the video group.

  - CVE-2011-1746     Vasiliy Kulikov reported an issue in the Linux support     for AGP devices. Local users can obtain elevated     privileges or cause a denial of service due to missing     bounds checking in the agp_allocate_memory and     agp_create_user_memory. On default Debian installations,     this is exploitable only by users in the video group.

  - CVE-2011-1776     Timo Warns reported an issue in the Linux implementation     for GUID partitions. Users with physical access can gain     access to sensitive kernel memory by adding a storage     device with a specially crafted corrupted invalid     partition table.

  - CVE-2011-2022     Vasiliy Kulikov reported an issue in the Linux support     for AGP devices. Local users can obtain elevated     privileges or cause a denial of service due to missing     bounds checking in the AGPIOC_UNBIND ioctl. On default     Debian installations, this is exploitable only by users     in the video group.
