[2.6.20.21 review 00/35] 2.6.20.21 -stable review

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is the start of the review cycle for the stable 2.6.20.21
kernel release. This version catches up with 2.6.22.9, and 35
patches will be posted as a response to this message. I tried
hard to trim the patches to a minimally reasonable set, and
unless I have introduced a big regression or build error, this
version will remain the last 2.6.20.x (at least from me).

2.6.23.1 is already there, 2.6.22.9 is quite clean, 2.6.16.54
still lives, there is no reason to maintain a fourth branch.

The following security issues are solved :
  CVE-2007-3104: store sysfs inode nrs in s_ino to avoid readdir oopses
  CVE-2007-4571: Convert snd-page-alloc proc file to use seq_file

No known vulnerability fix is pending anymore.

The rolled up patch can be found here :
   ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/stable-review/patch-2.6.20.21-rc1.gz

Responses should be made by October 17, 2007, 19:00:00 UTC.
Anything received after that time might be too late.

Thanks,
Willy
