Hi there, i just saw a message from the cert of the university of stuttgart ( only german: http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/ticker/article.php?mid=1000) which says that there seem to be some real security problems with kernel < 2.4.20pre11 (or 2.4.19 with a special patch applied). The y do not give real details expecept that this vulnerabilities can be used for Denial of service Attacks and local root exploits. It seems that some of these problems were fixed silently in 2.4.19 (without any official statement!) and they point to a patch fixing the other ones , too.
There is a link to a bugtraq message concerning redhat kernel updates but this only talks about security problems in a few drivers. ( http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/archive/bugtraq/2002/10/msg00256.html ). But they also mention that because of the DMCA the official information is very rare (??). just wanted to let you know, if someone finds out more interesting details, i am interested too (eh, does anyone know about the DMCA legal stuff??) regards, arne ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
