Greg & Chris, I haven't heard from either of you about these patches, nor have I seen any update to the stable-queue. Just for clarification, the security fix patch, that prevents a non-root user from hanging the kernel is the patch entitled, "V4L: buf_qbuf: fix videobuf_queue->stream corruption and lockup" ...as per Mauro's description, here: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg113820.html Regards, Michael Krufky - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
