I don't know what the security team is doing (although a new
2.6.6 build hit unstable a couple days ago).  However, the patch is a
one-line change to a header file.  You could find that patch on the
web fairly easily and manually merge it into the source tree you build
from to obtain the fix.

I thought the latest 2.4.x kernel was patched?
I don't know wether it would be a problem - but you could download the kernel source from www.kernel.org (it's just you'd be missing patches from debian)

HTH,
