* =?iso-8859-15?Q?Jean-Philippe_Gu=E9rard?= 

| 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 <URL:http://www.sendmail.org/sendmail.8.10.1.LINUX-SECURITY.txt>
| 
| Shouldn't both sendmail and the current kernel be updated ASAP ?

>From the latest debian-newsletter:

  * A fix for the capabilities-related local root compromise in kernel
    2.2.15 was [21]backported into the Debian package of kernel
    2.2.15.
