Date: Fri, 03 Sep 2004 16:28:41 -0700
severity 267766 important thanks I am downgrading this bug because so far it seems to have only been reported with 2.4.20 kernels, which are not supported in either sarge *or* woody. The kernels provided in woody are 2.4.18+security fixes, and the kernels shipped with sarge will be either 2.4.26 or 2.4.27. Using 2.4.20 is strongly discouraged regardless of samba's behavior, as this kernel contains various known security bugs. What are your reasons for not being able to upgrade the kernel on the affected machine, if I may ask? I don't think that working around buggy sendfile implementations in kernels not shipping with sarge should be release-critical for sarge, in any case; kernels are a rather special case of "allows partial upgrades", because it can't be addressed with versioned dependencies. -- Andrew Bartlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Authentication Developer, Samba Team http://samba.org Student Network Administrator, Hawker College [EMAIL PROTECTED]
