I'm wondering whether I've missed some announcement about a fixed 2.4.x package for this for i386 architecture. We've had DSAs 270 and 276 providing the fixes for Mips and S390 systems, and lots of discussion here about how to protect against the exploit *instead* of having a fix ... and it's been over a couple of weeks now, and still no i386 fix.
The fix is in vanilla kernel 2.4.20 as I understand it, and it sounds like some people here are downloading that source for their Woody i386 systems. Anyone know what the "official" plan is ? Thanks Nick Boyce Bristol, UK -- Spence's Admonition: Never stow away on a kamikaze plane.
