With the rash of security gaffs in the kernel related to mmap and
mremap, does it make anyone else nervous to see the following in the
changelog for 2.4.26:
o mremap NULL pointer dereference fix
If this was a security concern, would it be noted in the changelog?
Additionally, the 2.4.25 kernel seems to have a local root exploit for
CDROMs: http://lwn.net/Articles/80480/

"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it
is the leaders of a country who determine the policy...Voice or no
voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."
