Dear all,
There has been a bug in the kernel with a buffer overflow in kernel,
\begin{quote}
A remote buffer overflow vulnerability in the Linux Kernel could be exploited by attackers to execute code or cripple affected systems, according to a Gentoo bug report that just became public.
The flaw could allow malicious hackers to launch arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. This could lead to complete system compromise or, in some cases if an exploit fails, result in denial-of-service attacks.

Q: Will we see an updated kernel soon that addresses this issue?
Is it a real bug or just on Gentoo?
Thanks,
Antonio
