Bug#262540: Is 262540 a problem for debian stable 2.4.18 as well?
hi,
Regarding the bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=253871
CAN-2004-0554 user application can hang the kernel
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=262540
it seems that this is also a bug in the 2.4.18 kernel, at least
according to this URL:
http://linuxreviews.org/news/2004/06/11_kernel_crash/

In this case this is a security problem for the kernel 2.4.18 pacakages
in stable IMHO, e.g. kernel-source-2.4.18
Is anyone working on a new security release for 2.4.18?
thanks
boud
