Hello,

"Michael S. Gilbert" <michael.s.gilbert@gmail.com>:

Thank you.

I was confused because the 2.6.18 fix was not mentioned on
http://www.debian.org/security/ .

I know that not all the security announcements go there, but why is
the 2.6.24 fix listed but 2.6.18 is not? Is 2.6.24 considered as the
'default' etch kernel?

Regards,
Harald
