Hi all, http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0907.2/00684.html mentions that Linux-2.6.30.2 is due out pretty soon and includes fixes for some public security issues (one of which is http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=6820).
As such, I think it's worthy of inclusion into LFS-6.5, an -rc1 of which I was going to cut tomorrow following an overnight build including fixes for the 2 remaining 6.5 tickets. This also leads to a further question of what our policy is/should be for security issues like this. I know we generally try to keep our errata page up to date, but is it worth putting some advisory material in the book? In particular, I think it would be prudent to advise people that it's usually safe (and even recommened) to run the latest available -stable release for the book's version of the kernel.
