Ptrace, iptables, ...
Are there any other flaws in latest stable vanilla source? That is the
problem.
I use selfmade and for my place patched kernels. Before the ptrace flaw
I thought I am safe if I use the up-to-date stable source.
But after months there is no new stable version in 2.4 kernel tree and
there is no official information how to patch the flaws.
One possibility is to use some patched vendor kernel sources, the other
is to trust an unofficial patch.
Not Marcelo's best idea...
