yes all of them. > - If they effected user-compiled kernels? yes. though some of the holes would not affect you depending on your kernel configuration, such as the binfmt_misc, if you had that turned off it obviously could not be exploited. but ptrace affects you no matter how you config your kernel as does sysctl(). there ARE root exploits for the ptrace thing in the wild now (have been since the day after 2.2.19 was released). upgrading is highly advisable. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
