Linux 2.4.37.7

Linux 2.4.37.7

[Willy Tarreau]

I've just released Linux 2.4.37.7.

It contains various fixes, among which a few null pointer
dereferences which may become security issues on systems where
mmap_min_addr is not set.

Systems with untrusted local users should upgrade, other ones
may wait.

The patch and changelog will appear soon at the following locations:
  ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/
