Kernel capability bug for kernels < 2.2.16

[Jean-Philippe Guérard <jean-philippe.guerard@mail.dotcom.fr>]

It seems that both a new kernel version (2.2.16), and a new version
of sendmail have been released to fix a very serious security bug.

See http://www.sendmail.org/sendmail.8.10.1.LINUX-SECURITY.txt

Shouldn't both sendmail and the current kernel be updated ASAP ?

Also :

----------------------------------------------------------------------
A bug in xinetd versions prior to 2.1.8.8p3 will cause xinetd to allow
connections to anyone if the configuration specifies a limitation to a
hostname(s), and the incoming connection does not have a valid reverse
DNS entry.

Upgrade to version 2.1.8.8p3, available at:
www.synack.net/xinetd/
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(source http://www.sans.org )

Shouldn't it also be updated ?
