I noticed that several other distros (e.g. red hat, gentoo, etc.) have issued a kernel patch for the 2.4 and 2.2 root exploit vulnerability (in ptrace). I was wondering if SuSE has made a patch available (either officially or unofficially) for this problem? As, I did not see anything in the yast2 online update last night. I had considered using the -ac3 patch but, I later found out that it is for 2.4.21-pre5 not 2.4.20 or 2.4.19. So, there is no reason for me to go to an experimental kernel.

On a related note, for those who are using Con Kolivas patch set for 2.4.20, I have a patch that will apply cleanly. For those who are interested, please email me privately.
