<flame> You sir are an idiot.
What we are talking about here is a pretty major bug in the Linux kernel. Linux is now a mainstream product that is used comercially in many major organisations. SuSE have done the responsible thing by giving the other comercial distributions a limited window in which to bring their distros up to date. If YOU were a programmer/exploit developer and had found this bug yourself, you would be free to release this information to the general public first without giving the linux developers time to develop a fix. As it is, from a google search I can find no useful contribution from you regarding anything, not even help to someone else on a mailing list.
Please go back into your corner, sit down and shut up.
Feel free to speak again when you have something productive to offer </flame>
Not enought coffee today ...
Bravo, bravo. This guy does need to sit in a corner! I feel you took the correct route by NOT announcing a major kernel bug to people that could exploit it BEFORE having a fix available, including any competitors having a fix or knowledge. -- Ken Schneider Senior UNIX Administrator Network Administrator
