That correct, yes. SSP is actually used by quite a lot of vendors, and shouldn't be used outside of userland. Typically speaking it isn't, but in this case its being leaked. I've also heard some strange reports with ppc32 and 2.6.16 not decompressing properly all of the time which might be related. I've not been able to recreate this, nor heard any feedback yet. -- Role: Gentoo Linux Kernel Lead Gentoo Linux: http://www.gentoo.org Public Key: gpg --recv-keys 9C745515 Key fingerprint: A0AF F3C8 D699 A05A EC5C 24F7 95AA 241D 9C74 5515
