We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.18.6 kernel.
An assortment of important fixes with one security related fix that is
associated with less common bluetooth hardware:
1dca7c28: Bluetooth: Add packet size checks for CAPI messages (CVE-2006-6106)
The diffstat and short summary of the fixes are below.
I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.18.5 and 2.6.18.6, as it is small enough to do so.
The updated 2.6.18.y git tree can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.18.y.git
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
