The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below. I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between 2.6.16.6 and 2.6.16.7, as it is small enough to do so. The updated 2.6.16.y git tree can be found at: rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y.git and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: www.kernel.org/git/ Note, there seems to be a bit of a discrepancy in the assigning of CVE numbers to a specific issue that was solved in this release. The original author and I both asked for CVE numbers for different patches and seem to have gotten the same one. Please note that these are two different issues, yet, the same CVE number. Hopefully it gets fixed eventually for those who like to track these kinds of things... thanks, greg k-h -------- Makefile | 2 +- mm/madvise.c | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Summary of changes from v2.6.16.6 to v2.6.16.7 ============================================== Greg Kroah-Hartman: Linux 2.6.16.7 Hugh Dickins: fix MADV_REMOVE vulnerability (CVE-2006-1524 for real this time)
