  to enable corporations to quickly and cost-effectively build a complete

OVERVIEW

      (CAN-2004-0133, CAN-2004-0177, and CAN-2004-0181 respectively)

    * A mostly likely non-exploitable bug in the panic() function
      (CAN-2004-0394)

    * A potential memory leak in the do_fork() function's error path

    * An integer overflow in the ip_setsockopt() function (CAN-2004-0424)
