It contains a number of bugfixes, and all 2.6.18 users are recommended to upgrade. Barring anything extremely serious, this will be the last 2.6.18 based release. 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 2.6.18.7 and 2.6.18.8, as it is small enough to do so. The updated 2.6.18.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.18.y.git and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: www.kernel.org/git/ thanks, greg k-h -------- Makefile | 2 arch/x86_64/ia32/ptrace32.c | 1 arch/x86_64/kernel/entry.S | 4 arch/x86_64/kernel/setup64.c | 4 drivers/char/mem.c | 12 - drivers/i2c/chips/ds1337.c | 8 drivers/infiniband/core/mad.c | 2 drivers/infiniband/ulp/srp/ib_srp.c | 2 drivers/infiniband/ulp/srp/ib_srp.h | 2 drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_net.c | 4 drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-cards.c | 2 drivers/media/video/ks0127.c | 8 drivers/media/video/tveeprom.c | 2 drivers/media/video/usbvideo/quickcam_messenger.h | 14 - drivers/media/video/video-buf.c | 1 drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.h | 2 drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_main.c | 8 drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_xmit.h | 10 - drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 1 fs/buffer.c | 21 ++ fs/ext2/super.c | 4 fs/ext3/super.c | 4 fs/hfs/super.c | 2 include/asm-powerpc/current.h | 12 + include/asm-x86_64/system.h | 5 include/media/cx2341x.h | 2 mm/memory.c | 32 ++- mm/mincore.c | 183 +++++++++------------- mm/msync.c | 66 +++---- mm/shmem.c | 7 30 files changed, 223 insertions(+), 204 deletions(-) Summary of changes from v2.6.18.7 to v2.6.18.8 ============================================== Andi Kleen (1): Don't leak NT bit into next task Andrew Morton (1): grow_buffers() infinite loop fix (CVE-2006-5757, CVE-2006-6060) Ang Way Chuang (1): dvb-core: fix bug in CRC-32 checking on 64-bit systems Badari Pulavarty (1): Fix for shmem_truncate_range() BUG_ON() Dirk Eibach (1): i2c: fix broken ds1337 initialization Eric Sandeen (1): hfs_fill_super returns success even if no root inode (CVE-2006-6056) Grant Likely (1): V4L: Fix quickcam communicator driver for big endian architectures Greg Kroah-Hartman (1): Linux 2.6.18.8 Hans Verkuil (1): v4l: cx2341x audio_properties is an u16, not u8 Hugh Dickins (4): read_zero_pagealigned() locking fix fix msync error on unmapped area make ppc64 current preempt-safe fix umask when noACL kernel meets extN tuned for ACLs Jean Delvare (1): v4l: cx88: Fix leadtek_eeprom tagging Larry Finger (1): bcm43xx: Fix for oops on resume Linus Torvalds (1): Fix incorrect user space access locking in mincore() (CVE-2006-4814) Martin Samuelsson (1): V4L: fix ks0127 status flags Michael Buesch (1): bcm43xx: Fix for oops on ampdu status Michael Krufky (1): V4L: tveeprom: autodetect LG TAPC G701D as tuner type 37 Oleg Nesterov (1): V4L: buf_qbuf: fix videobuf_queue->stream corruption and lockup Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso (1): x86_64: fix 2.6.18 regression - PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS should be accepted Roland Dreier (2): IB/srp: Fix FMR mapping for 32-bit kernels and addresses above 4G IB/mad: Fix race between cancel and receive completion Tejun Heo (1): SCSI: add missing cdb clearing in scsi_execute()
