Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2004 15:02:35 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041222170235.GH3088@logos.cnet> (raw)
Hi,
Here goes the third -pre of 2.4.29.
More importantly this release contains a correction for the "int 0x80 hole"
security problem in AMD64 port (CAN-2004-1144).
It also contains a few important v2.6 backports (tty/ldisc and pty races),
some hardening patches from Solar (none of those are exploitable bugs, just
paranoic/early error detection), and a few networking updates.
This release should also fix the "NFS hang on unlink" issues present in v2.4.28.
It should appear in the kernel.org mirrors in a few minutes.
