About: [SECURITY] [DSA-358-1] New kernel source and i386

[moseley@hank.org]

What's not clear to me (unless I just missed in my coffee-less state) is 
what is required, if anything since I'm using:

 ii  kernel-source- 2.4.21-2       Linux kernel source for version 2.4.21 with 

The advisory mentions 2.4.21 a few places, not not for all problems.  
For example:

- - CAN-2003-0462: A race condition in the way env_start and env_end
  pointers are initialized in the execve system call and used in
  fs/proc/base.c on Linux 2.4 allows local users to cause a denial of
  service (crash).

which leaves me unclear if that was fixed in 2.4.21 or patched in
2.4.21 for Debian.

Thanks,
