Thanks for the answer. Of course you are right, that 48h isn't that long for a just local exploit. And of course any comparison with MS is surely won by ubuntu :) I was just wondering why debian's updated kernel was so many hours before ubuntu's released. The places to patch the kernel- source should be exactly the same in both.

So even if the i386-patch would have been created and tested it hadn't been released before the patches for generic- and 64bit-kernels had been created and released? greets -- Local root exploit in kernel 2.6.17 - 2.6.24 (vmsplice) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190587 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
