Updated kernels with security fixes
Hi:
If you're looking for Debian alpha/i386 kernel-images with all the recent
security alerts (ptrace, ioperm, net hash) fixed, look no further.
For users of unstable, fixed packages are now in the archive. They will
enter testing in about 10 days.
For users of stable (woody), please get them from proposed-updates which
is accessible with this /etc/apt/sources.list line:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
Of course you can replace http.us.debian.org with your favourite mirror.
Note that the kernel-image name has changed. It is now 2.4.20-2-<flavour>
in woody instead of 2.4.20-<flavour>. You can overcome this problem by
installing the kernel-image-2.4-<flavour> package which will always keep
you up-to-date with the latest 2.4 kernel-image available.
The change in the package name also means that you can easily revert to
your existing kernel should anything go wrong since none its files will
be replaced.
