new 2.4.28 package to clse smbfs kernel vulnerability?




A new vuln (smbfs) found in linux kernel [1,2] affects
all 2.4 but 2.4.28 and all 2.6 (till 2.6.9),
according to securityfocus [1]. Thanks Slashdot...

Is someone working on it (new 2.4.27 or 2.4.28 kernel package)?
Perhaps I should download/compile a 2.4.28 from kernel.org,
but I dont want to miss additional Debian patches :)
Perhaps I'll only wait for kernel-source.2.4.28 deb

PS If someone know _if_ a bug report is needed and where post it,
   dont hesitate to do it. I dont know if this will affect
   the new (rc2) debian installer (based on 2.4.27?)
