Hi,
I tested the kernel with success. :)
Is only the uselib() root exploit fixed ?
I looked at http://www.isec.pl/vulnerabilities.html and saw also a other
problem and I think this should be solved (
kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686-smp can be affected).
On http://www.isec.pl/vulnerabilities04.html you can see more problemes
, they we should check. Is a list of all security problems available ?
(to read all ChangesLogs are not really helpful)
I hope on 2.6 with the new as-tree (e.g. 2.6.10-as2) , we will get a
collections of all securty problems and it is easier to handle.
Nice greetings,
Harald

Dear Debian Users,
Due the to delay of security updated debian woody 2.4.18 kernels, I have
applied Simon Heywood's patch to the kernel-source-2.4.18 (ver 14.3) and
am making deb packages available for 386 and 686.
These kernels have been tested to stop the uselib() kernel root exploit.
http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0021-uselib.txt
We hope that this release will help improve the security on systems
presently running version 13.1 of kernel-image-2.4.18.
These kernel packages have been installed and appear to function well, but
they are still rather new and come with no warranty. Feel free to give
them a try, and let me know if you experience any problems.
