Hi all

I can't code, so I have to ask somewhere whether the patch I found for
the mentioned problem is good code:

<http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/bugtraq/2005-05/0131.html>

It applied without problems to 2.6.12-rc4, so I'd be glad if someone understanding
the code on the page above could let me know if it's safe to use it ...

Thanks in anticipation

Best Regards
Wolfgang
