Subject: Announce: modutils 2.3.21 is available
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 23:25:17 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6715.974895917@ocs3.ocs-net> (raw)
This is the "never release a security fix in a hurry" release. The
security fixes in modutils 2.3.20 had some side effects on some config
files. Linus knocked back environment variable MOD_SAFEMODE, instead
the kernel propagates the real uid that caused modprobe to be invoked.
