Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Version: 2.6.8-16
Severity: important

In http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14790 a memory leak is reported in
the linux kernel.

They reference
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=729d70f5dfd663b44bca68a4479c96bde7e535d6
which has a patch for drivers/scsi/sg.c

I've browsed around on http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/, but not found
any references to this problem. So hopefully I've not duplicated any
work!
