Hi, not meaning to spam you with quotes from heise ;-) But I'm not able to judge if the issues pointed out here http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/bugtraq/2005-01/0070.ht... are indeed serious or not. Some people on the lkml say they are not, others say they are. And I have no idea :-) Are you working on fixes for the SuSE kernel or do you think the problems are not as severe as they sound when reading the heise news or the grsecurity advisory? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
