Hello. I am just new to debian LInux after spending some time on redhat and
mandrake. Debian is cool but I have just one important question.
I just installed debian 3.0r1 woody to my machine with bf24 option so I have
2.4.18 kernel on my machine right now. Fine..but I would like to know if
there are some patches in this kernel as I know there were some exploits for
<2.4.21rc2 using ptrace technik. When I do apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
nothing with kernel happen. When I do dpkg -l | grep kernel nothing like
kernel image is there neither /boot/vmlinuz file doesn't seem to be owned by
any package. In 08.06.03 I downloaded mentioned package according to this
refer:
If "uname -r" shows: | Install this package:
| 2.4.18-bf2.4 | kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4
and made dpkg -i kernel-image-XXX
when I do dpkg -l | grep kernel I can see my kernel here:
kernel-image-2 2.4.18-5woody1 Linux kernel image for version 2.4.18 (bf va
and when I do uname -r I see:
2.4.18-bf2.4
So my question is: IS MY KERNEL SECURE AND NOT VULNERABLE ?
Thank you very much for each answer
