 Hi!

 The next -uc for i386 is already available at:

http://distro2.conectiva.com.br/~lcapitulino/mdv_kernels/uc/2.6.12.18.uc3mdk/

 and will be available for x86_64 in the next hours at:

http://tmb.kkc.fi/Kernels/2006.0/x86_64/
Sorry for the the delay of the x86_64 build, but the build was broken for x86_64 introduced by the
ZZ99_CVE-2006-0557 fix...

And I checked first today if my buildscript had finished the job & uploaded it...
They are now uploaded...
 The changelog is:

* Thu Mar 09 2006 Luiz Capitulino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2.6.12-18.uc3mdk
  o Luiz Capitulino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    - Adds the corresponding CVE entry number for ZZ94 patch by renaming
      ZZ94_fix_keyctl_usage_of_strnlen_user.patch to
      ZZ94_CVE-2006-0457_fix_keyctl_usage_of_strnlen_user.patch
    - Fix OOPS in IPMI driver, which is probably caused when trying to use
      ACPI functions when ACPI was not properly initialized (fixes #20130)
    - Security fixes:
      * ZZ98_CVE-2006-0742_ia64_noreturn_attr_fix.patch
      * ZZ99_CVE-2006-0557_sys_mbind_sanity_checking.patch
      * ZZA0_CAN-2005-3044_x86_64_lost_fput_in32bit_ioctl.patch (NOTE: this
      patch is the part '(1)' of the mentioned CAN entry)

 o Thomas Backlund <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   -  Patch ZZA1: fix missing BITS_PER_BYTE definition in x86_64 / NUMA
      introduced in CVE-2006-0557
 The CAN-2005-3044 fix may looks weird if you know that there _is_ a fix
for that already. The problem is that this CAN has two different parts,
one of them was fixed some time ago, the second one is fixed now.

 Please, also note that I'm using the just created kernel-discuss ML to
make the -uc announcements, and will put the cooker ML in the CC only for
this and maybe the next -uc. If you're -uc user would be good to see you
on kernel-discuss then. :)

 Happy testing, and many thanks for the feedback.



Attached is also the needed patch...

[PATCH] Define BITS_PER_BYTE

This can make the intent behind some arithmetic expressions clearer.
