Linux 2.6.11.10

Linux 2.6.11.10

[Greg KH]

Due to a recently announced security issue with the current kernel, we
(the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.11.10 kernel.

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
2.6.11.9 and 2.6.11.10, as it is small enough to do so.

Also, the 2.6.11.y tree is now being kept in git.  It can be found at:
	rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/linux-2.6.11.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
	www.kernel.org/git/

thanks,

greg k-h

I was just the bringer of bad news this time ;-)

Stephen Tweedie spotted the real problem here, and based
his patch on one from Jan Glauber.

Would it be possible to cross-reference the vulnerabilities in a
precise manner, maybe using CVE names?

The ChangeLog has this info (CVE CAN-2005-1264).

http://kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Fgregkh%2Flinux-2.6.11.y.git;a=log

But, it's reasonble to ask for these in announce email, thanks.

Sorry, I'll put the CVE names in the announce email from now on.
