Summary about Linux Kernel Packages in woodyDue to my work as part of the Security Team I have to investigate kernel packages as well. When we are informed about a vulnerability in the Linux kernel we need to check which version is vulnerable and prepare updates. For this, we need to fix all relevant source archives. Then we need to contact the port maintainers, provide them fixed source archives or patches, and ask them to prepare updated kernel packages. Even though this does sound easy, it is not, due to the sheer amount of different kernel versions and kernel source packages. In woody we have 8 different kernel versions, 2 different major versions, and 11 source archives, together with nearly uncountable binary packages. The table below is intended to help me keep track of kernel vulnerabilities in the woody distribution.
