>From an email from Alan Cox (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104791735604202&w=2):
---------- The Linux 2.2 and Linux 2.4 kernels have a flaw in ptrace. This hole allows local users to obtain full privileges. Remote exploitation of this hole is not possible. Linux 2.5 is not believed to be vulnerable. ---------- There is a patch attached to the above email as well. My question: is this patch likely to make it into the gentoo-sources before the 2.4.21 kernel is released? Doug Gorley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
